Non-linear generation of warps by spiral waves in galactic disks
F. Masset, M. Tagger
We present a new mechanism to explain the frequently observed and thus certainly permanent warping of spiral galaxies. We consider the possibility of non-linear coupling between th…

Propagation of warps in moderately thick disks
F. Masset, M. Tagger
We show that the propagation of warps in gaseous disks can be strongly affected by compressional effects, when the thickness of the disk is taken into account. The physical reason…
