Detailed Mathematical Analysis

Density waves in the nature of those proposed by B. Lindblad are described by detailed mathematical analysis of collective modes in a disk-like stellar system. The treatment is centered around a hypothesis of quasi-stationary spiral structure. We examine (a) the mechanism for the maintenance of this spiral pattern, and (b) its consequences on the observable features of the galaxy.

Zeeman spectroheliograms of photospheric magnetic fields (longitudinal component) in the CaI 6102.7 Å line are being obtained with the new 61-cm vacuum solar telescope and spectroheliograph, using the Leighton technique. The structure of the magnetic field network appears identical to the bright photospheric network visible in the cores of many Fraunhofer lines and in CN spectroheliograms, with the exception that polarities are distinguished. This supports the evolving concept that solar magnetic fields outside of sunspots exist in small concentrations of essentially vertically oriented field, roughly clumped to form a network imbedded in the otherwise field-free photosphere. A timelapse spectroheliogram movie sequence spanning 6 hr revealed changes in the magnetic fields, including a systematic outward streaming of small magnetic knots of both polarities within annular areas surrounding several sunspots. The photospheric magnetic fields and a series of filtergrams taken at various wavelengths in the Hα profile starting in the far wing are intercompared in an effort to demonstrate that the dark strands of arch filament systems (AFS) and fibrils map magnetic field lines in the chromosphere. An example of an active region in which the magnetic fields assume a distinct spiral structure is presented.

Central Regions

A concentrated nuclear bulge with about 30% of the galaxy mass is sufficient (Lin, 1975; Berman and Mark, 1978) to eliminate strong bar-forming instabilities which dominate the dynamics of the stellar disk. Weak bar-like or oval distortions might remain depending on the model. In such systems self-excited discrete modes give rise to global spiral patterns which are maintained in the presence of differential rotation and dissipation (cf. especially the spiral patterns in Bertin et al., 1977, 1978). These spiral modes are standing waves that are physically analyzable (Mark, 1977) into a superposition of two travelling waves propagating in opposite directions back and forth between galactic central regions and corotation (a resonator). Only a few discrete pattern frequencies are allowed. An interpretation is that the central regions and corotation radius must be sufficiently far apart so that a Bohr-Sommerfeld type of phase-integral condition is satisfied for the wave system of each mode. The temporal growth of these modes is mostly due to an effect of Wave Amplification by Stimulated Emission (of Rotating Spirals, abbrev. WASERS, cf. Mark 1976) which occurs in the vicinity of corotation. In some galaxies one mode might be predominent while other galaxies could exhibit more complicated spiral structure because several modes are present. Weak barlike or oval distortions hardly interfere with the structure of these modes. But they might nevertheless contribute partially towards strengthening the growth of one mode relative to another, as well as affecting the kinematics of the gaseous component.

The Past

A vast amount of observational data concerning the structure and kinematics of the Magellanic Clouds is now available. Many basic quantities (e.g. distances and geometry) are, however, not yet sufficiently well determined. Interactions between the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and our Galaxy have dominated the evolution of the Clouds, causing bursts of star formation which, together with stochastic self-propagating star formation, produced the observed structures. In the youngest generation in the LMC it is seen as an intricate pattern imitating a fragmented spiral structure. In the SMC much of the fragmentation is along the line of sight complicating the reconstruction of its history. The violent events in the past are also recognizable in complex velocity patterns which make the analysis of the kinematics of the Clouds difficult.

Spatial Pattern Formation

We study a system of self-replicating loops in which interaction rules between individuals allow competition that leads to the formation of a hypercycle-like network. The main feature of the model is the multiple layers of interaction between loops, which lead to both global spatial patterns and local replication. The network of loops manifests itself as a spiral structure from which new kinds of self-replicating loops emerge at the boundaries between different species. In these regions, larger and more complex self-replicating loops live for longer periods of time, managing to self-replicate in spite of their slower replication. Of particular interest is how micro-scale interactions between replicators lead to macro-scale spatial pattern formation, and how these macro-scale patterns in turn perturb the micro-scale replication dynamics.
