Spurs and feathering in spiral galaxies
We present Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the response of gas discs to a spiral potential. These simulations show that the commonly observed spurs and feathering in spiral galaxies can be understood as being due to structures present in the spiral arms that are sheared by the divergent orbits in a spiral potential. Thus, dense molecular cloud-like structures generate the p...
متن کاملStudy on the Pull-In Instability of Gold Micro-Switches Using Variable Length Scale Parameter
In this paper, the size dependent behavior of the gold micro-switches has been studied. This behavior becomes noticeable for a structure when the characteristic size such as thickness or diameter is close to its internal length-scale parameter. The size dependent effect is insignificant for the high ratio of the characteristic size to the length-scale parameter, which is the case of the silicon...
متن کاملObservation of Microlensing towards the Galactic Spiral Arms . EROS II 2 year survey ⋆
We present the analysis of the light curves of 8.5 million stars observed during two seasons by EROS (Expérience de Recherche d’Objets Sombres), in the Galactic plane away from the bulge. Three stars have been found that exhibit luminosity variations compatible with gravitational microlensing effects due to unseen objects. The corresponding optical depth, averaged over four directions, is τ̄ = 0...
متن کاملStar formation in galaxies: the role of spiral arms
Studying star formation in spiral arms tells us not only about the evolution of star formation, and molecular clouds, but can also tell us about the nature of spiral structure in galaxies. I will address both these topics using the results of recent simulations and observations. Galactic scale simulations are beginning to examine in detail the evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMC) as they f...
