Influence of Magnetic Fields on the Gas Rotation in the Galaxy NGC 6946
Magnetic fields can play an important role in the energy balance and formation of gas structures in galaxies. However, their dynamical effect on the rotation curve of galaxies is immensely unexplored. We investigate the dynamical effect of the known magnetic arms of NGC 6946 on its circular gas rota...
