Excitation of warps by spiral waves in galaxies by non-linear coupling
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 the spiral wave of the galaxy and two warp waves, such that the former, which is linearly unstable and extracts energy and angular momentum from the inner regions of the galactic disk, can continuously feed the latter. ...
متن کاملNon-linear coupling of spiral waves in disk galaxies: a numerical study
We present the results of two-dimensional numerical simulations of stellar galactic disks, aimed at studying the non-linear coupling between bar and spiral waves and modes, in disks with realistically peaked rotation profiles. The power spectrum analysis of the perturbed density in the disk, for azimuthal numbers ranging from m = 0 to m = 4, shows an unambiguous signature of non-linear coupling...

متن کاملNon-linear transient waves
This dissertation presents the results of a new study on 2-D transient waves, formed through the focusing of wave energy. An extensive laboratory investigation has been undertaken for large number of wave groups with a range of amplitudes and frequency bandwidths. The results show that the focusing of wave energy can produce highly non-linear wave groups, where the nonlinearity increases with a...
متن کاملSupershells in Spiral Galaxies
Expanding supershells are perhaps the most prominent manifestation of the violent impact which massive stars have on the gaseous ISM. Commonly thought to be formed as a consequence of mechanical luminosity dumped into the ISM by OB associations, supershells can be viewed as a critical gauge of the energy source which ultimately supports interstellar turbulence. I will review the present underst...
