Disks of Galaxies: Kinematics, Dynamics, and Perturbations: Proceedings of the 4th Guillermo Haro Conference Held at Inaoe, Puebla, Mexico, 5-9 ... Society of the Pacific Conference Series)

by Raúl Mújica (Editor), E. Athanassoula

This proceedings volume of the November 2001 conference presents the latest results on numerical simulations of disk galaxy structures, from organized observational campaigns relevant to disk galaxy structure and evolution, and in the study of maximal disks, cuspy halos, warps, bars, and galaxy formation. Among the topics of the 50 papers and 47 the optical properties of disk galaxies, gas kinematics in spiral and barred galaxies, the scattering of stars by transient spiral waves, the morphology of central kpc in nested bar systems, and the disk of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
