Nonlinear Density Wave Theory in a Gaseous Disk

A nonlinear solution for the gaseous component of a galactic disk has been derived self-consistently using fluid description and reductive perturbation theory. We show that gas follows a spiral pattern, similarly to the stellar component; but the spirals are slightly separated due to different relev...
