The Dynamics of Galactic Warps
Nelson, Robert W. · Tremaine, Scott
Original · EN
Large-scale warps in the outer parts of spiral galaxy discs have been observed for almost forty years, but their origin remains obscure. We review the dynamics of warped galaxy discs. We identify several mechanisms that could excite warps, all involving the gravitational interaction between the disc and the dark-matter halo.
