Large scale magnetohydrodynamical considerations in spiral galaxies
Description
A magnetohydrodynamical result is deduced, which could contribute to our understanding of spiral and ring structures in galaxies. The usual expressions for the continuity, momentum and induction equations are adopted for the gas of a galaxy, and the following simplifying hypotheses are made: a) Steady state conditions, b) Axisymmetry, c) A city field for the interstellar gas. Then, the direction of magnetic field must be azimuthal and the plasma distribution is compatible with ring structures. (Auth.)
