Radial Dependence of the Pattern Speed of M51
Sharon E. Meidt, Richard J. Rand, Michael R. Merrifield +2
The grand-design spiral galaxy M51 has long been a crucial target for theories of spiral structure. Studies of this iconic spiral can address the question of whether strong spiral…
Cloud and Star Formation in Disk Galaxy Models with Feedback
Rahul Shetty, Eve C. Ostriker
We include feedback in global hydrodynamic simulations in order to study the star formation properties, and gas structure and dynamics, in models of galactic disks. We extend previ…
Kinematics of Spiral Arm Streaming in M51
Rahul Shetty, Stuart N. Vogel, Eve C. Ostriker +1
We use CO and H alpha velocity fields to study the gas kinematics in the spiral arms and interarms of M51 (NGC 5194), and fit the 2D velocity field to estimate the radial and tange…
