Detection of spiral magnetic fields in two flocculent galaxies
According to the classical axisymmetric dynamo concept, differentially rotating galaxies which lack organized optical spiral patterns and density wave flows should still have spiral magnetic fields with a substantial radial component. To check this hypothesis we observed two flocculent spirals, NGC 3521 and NGC 5055, in the radio continuum (total power and polarization) at 10.55 GHz with a reso...
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...
متن کاملBars, Spiral Structure, and Secular Evolution in Disk Galaxies
Simulations and observations of galactic bars suggest they do not commonly evolve into bulges, although it is possible that the earliest bars formed bulges long ago, when galaxies were smaller, denser, and had more gas. The most highly evolved of today’s bars may become lenses over a Hubble time. Most galaxies in the early Universe are extremely clumpy, with ∼ 10 −10 M⊙ blue clumps that resembl...
متن کاملEvolution of Magnetic Fields in Galaxies with Spiral Structure
3 S u m m a r y : We present simulations of the 3D nonlinear induction equation in order to investigate the temporal evolution of large-scale magnetic elds in spiral galaxies. Our model includes diierential rotation, ambipolar diiusion and, based on small-scale turbulence, eddy diiusivity and the tensorial-eeect with magnetic feedback. The nonax-isymmetric spiral pattern and { if considered { t...
متن کاملEvolution of structure in late-type spiral galaxies
Aims. We study two dimensional Fabry-Perot interferometric observations of the nearby face-on late-type spiral galaxy, NGC 628, in order to analyse the ionized gas component of the interstellar medium. Covering the galaxy out to a radius larger than 12 kpc, and with a spatial sampling of 1. ′′6, we aim to investigate the large-scale dynamics as well as feedback from individual H regions into...
