摘要:

星系的外盘是研究盘形成过程的独特实验室。观察到的磁盘的相当一部分表现出在其表面亮度分布的中断。这些特征的普遍性指出了必须解释的磁盘形成的一个关键方面。最近的理论研究表明,这种断裂与大量的径向迁移有关。我们讨论了目前的观测证据,支持这一观点。

英文摘要:

The outer disks of galaxies present a unique laboratory for studying the process of disk formation. A considerable fraction of observed disks exhibit a break in their surface brightness profiles. The ubiquity of these features points to a crucial aspect of disk formation which must be explained. Recent theoretical work suggests that such breaks are related to significant amounts of radial migration. We discuss the current observational evidence which supports this picture.
