Density Wave Theory

Star formation in interacting galaxies is usually strongly enhanced. The star formation rate in the Milky Way is substantially greater than, for example, in the Andromeda Nebula. A plausible cause for this difference may be the interaction of the Milky Way with the Large Magellanic Cloud. We suggest that one of the possibilities for this may be the enhanced formation of cold gas clouds as the gas flows through the gravitational potential well of a tidal wave caused by the interaction; another contribution may come from compression of pre-existing clouds when they pass this way. This scenario is obviously quite similar to that envisioned in “frames” of the density-wave theory.

A review is given of recent theoretical and observational work on the density wave theory of spiral structure. Emphasis is put on the kinematic picture, and the question whether modern observations reveal the existence of density waves is discussed.
