Studies on the Galactic Density Wave
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 February 2017
Abstract
For spiral galaxies, investigations have been made as to the behaviour of density waves at the critical regions of the Lindblad and co-rotation resonances and in particular as to their role in the maintenance and generation of these waves. We shall also discuss the conditions under which an inner resonance ring may be formed. Furthermore, we find that the co-rotation region acts as a wave-amplifier.
