The Persistence of Warps in Spiral Galaxies with Massive Halos
We study the persistence of warps in galactic discs in the presence of massive halos. A disc is approximated by a set of massive rings, while a halo is represented by a conventional n-body simulation. We confirm the conclusion of Nelson and Tremaine (1995) that a halo responds strongly to an embedde...
