Gas dynamics and disk-galaxy evolution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Gas dynamics plays a vital role in the formation and ongoing evolution of a disk galaxy through its ability to have dissipative collisions. In this paper the simplest possible gas physics which provides a description of a gaseous component is incorporated into N-body experiments to investigate the formation of a disk galaxy.
