A Physical Model of Warped Galaxy Disks

Warped H I gas layers in the outer regions of spiral galaxies usually display a noticeably twisted structure. This structure almost certainly arises primarily as a result of differential precession in the H I disk as it settles toward a preferred orientation in an underlying dark halo potential well that is not spherically symmetric. In an attempt to better understand the structure and evolutio...

Periodic orbits in warped disks

It is often assumed that a warped galaxy can be modeled by a set of rings. This paper verifies numerically the validity of this assumption by the study of periodic orbits populating a heavy self-gravitating warped disk. The phase space structure of a warped model reveals that the circular periodic orbits of a flat disk are transformed in quasi annular periodic orbits which conserve their stabil...

Galaxy Disks

The disks of disk galaxies contain a substantial fraction of their baryonic matter and angular momentum, and much of the evolutionary activity in these galaxies, such as the formation of stars, spiral arms, bars and rings, and the various forms of secular evolution, takes place in their disks. The formation and evolution of galactic disks are therefore particularly important for understanding h...

Frequency Correlations of QPOs Based on a Disk Oscillation Model in Warped Disks

In previous papers we proposed a model that high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in black-hole and neutron-star X-ray binaries are disk oscillations (inertial-acoustic and/or g-mode oscillations) resonantly excited on warped disks. In this paper we examine whether time variations of the QPOs and their frequency correlations observed in neutron-star X-ray binaries can be ac...

Tidal thickening of galaxy disks

We have studied a sample of 24 edge-on interacting galaxies and compared them to edge-on isolated galaxies, to investigate the effects of tidal interaction on disk thickening. We found that the ratio h/z0 of the radial exponential scalelength h to the scale height z0 is about twice smaller for interacting galaxies. This is found to be due both to a thickening of the plane, and to a radial strip...
