Spiral Density Waves

Large-scale axisymmetric and bisymmetric spiral (ASS and BSS) structures are found of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies by measuring the Faraday rotation of polarized radio emission. Dynamo theory is introduced to explain the field structures, and strong magnetogravitational interaction is suggested to occur between the BSS magnetic fields and spiral density waves. Up-to-date data about the rotation measures RM and redshifts z of QSOs and distant radio galaxies are given for discussing large-scale intergalactic magnetic fields.

The Law

To the aim of reproducing the oxygen abundances and gradients observed in the disk of our Galaxy and four nearby spirals (M31, M33, M83, and M101), we have computed numerical models of galactic evolution assuming only two free parameters: the infall of gas from outside the disk and the law of star formation (e.g. proportional to some power of the gas density, decreasing with time, constant, etc.).

Armed Spiral

The generation and maintenance of galactic magnetic fields are considered when the dynamo-acted disk is perturbed by spiral density waves. The periodic change of gaseous density and shear is coupled with the field oscillation as a dynamo wave. We find the conditions for parametric resonance which increases the efficiency of dynamos. Special attention is paid to two-armed spiral galaxies, in which the BSS field structure is possibly the most effectively excited configuration owing to the present mechanism.

Halo Population

We have solved the dispersion relation given by the theory of Lynden Bell and Kalnajs (1972) using models with spherical halos under the assumption that the halo population does not participate in the spiral arms. Especially we have studied the conditions under which the solutions of this dispersion relation reach corotation so that the excitation mechanism of the density waves due to the theory of Lynden Bell-Kalnajs is applicable. We have used as basic axisymmetric models the model of Schmidt (1965) (S-model) and the model proposed by Miyamoto and Nagai (1975) (M-model) On these models we have superimposed spherical halos so that in a sphere of radius 20 kpc there exists a given amount of mass with two different density laws: ρ as r-1and p as r-2.
