Download or read book Warped Disks and Inclined Rings Around Galaxies written by Stefano Casertano and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-05-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
