Spiral arm pitch angle and galactic shear rate in N-body simulations of disc galaxies
Robert J. J. Grand, Daisuke Kawata, Mark Cropper
Spiral galaxies are observed to exhibit a range of morphologies, in particular in the shape of spiral arms. A key diagnostic parameter is the pitch angle, which describes how tight…

Dynamics of stars around spiral arms in an N-body/SPH simulated barred-spiral galaxy
Robert J. J. Grand, Daisuke Kawata, Mark Cropper
We run N-body smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of a Milky Way sized galaxy. The code takes into account hydrodynamics, self-gravity, star formation, supernova and…
