Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Warped Disks And Inclined Rings Around Galaxies by Edited by Stefano Casertano , Edited by Penny D. Sackett , Edited by Franklin H. Briggs
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.show more
