Interpretation of large-scale spiral structure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The present paper consists of three parts: (1) A general explanation, from a semi-empirical point of view, of the density wave theory and its ramifications, with only a few remarks on those detailed features which have not been stressed before; (2) a statement of our conclusions about the Milky Way System; and (3) a discussion of the problem of the origin of density waves of spiral form.
