Warped Disks and Inclined Rings around Galaxies Hardback
Edited by Stefano (University of Pittsburgh) Casertano, Penny D. (University of Pittsburgh) Sackett, Franklin H. (University of Pittsburgh) Briggs
Hardback
Description
Most galaxies are in clusters, where tidal interactions are not uncommon.
Tidal and dynamical interaction in galaxies are of importance in studying evolution.
A large amount of data has been collected on dust-lane ellipticals, polar ring galaxies, spirals with extended warps, and galaxies with inclined HI rings or unusual 'tails'.
This book is a record of a meeting which was held at the University of Pittsburgh.
It provided an informal, yet focused environment for the interaction of astronomers who have addressed these questions with a wide variety of skills, techniques and points of view.
