Exploring spiral galaxy potentials with hydrodynamical simulations
We study how well the complex gas velocity fields induced by massive spiral arms are modelled by the hydrodynamical simulations we used to constrain the dark matter fraction in nearby spiral galaxies (Kranz et al. 2001, 2003). More specifically, we explore the dependence of the positions and amplitu...
