银河系旋臂的结构和动力学--由一个运动方程给出

Galactic Spiral Arms: Structure and Dynamics Given by an Equation of Motion

Gregory Buck

摘要:

利用自引力暗条的运动方程,我们展示了星系旋臂是如何形成和维持的。我们发现,银河系的磁盘和自引力的臂(如方程所示)的组合的差异旋转导致旋转的螺旋结构。此外,通过这种分析,我们发现了一个第二微分方程,它明确地将这种螺旋结构与星系的旋转曲线联系起来-它连接了几个因素,包括螺旋形状和模式速度。我们还描述了一个简单的多体数值实验,支持我们的方法。研究结果与有关臂结构和旋转曲线(包括前臂结构)的观察证据一致。

英文摘要:

Using an equation of motion for a self-gravitating filament, we show how galactic spiral arms might be created and sustained. We find that the combination of differential rotation of the galactic disk and the self-gravity of the arm (as given by the equation) leads to a rotating spiral structure. Moreover, using this analysis, we then find a second differential equation that explicitly relates this spiral structure to the rotation curve of the galaxy -- it connects several factors, including spiral shape and pattern speed. We also describe a simple many-body numerical experiment that supports our approach. The findings are with consistent with observational evidence concerning arm structure and rotation curves, including leading arm structures.
