Summary
ABSTRACT
Galaxy interactions that agitate the interstellar medium by increasing the gas velocity dispersion and removing peripheral gas in tidal arms can lead to the formation and possible ejection of self-gravitationally bound cloud complexes with masses in excess of 108 M⊙. Some of these complexes may eventually appear as independent dwarf galaxies.
MASSIVE CLOUDS IN IC 2163/NGC 2207
VLA HI observations (Elmegreen et al. 1993a) reveal 10 clouds each with HI mass > 108 M⊙ in the outer parts and in the main disks of the interacting galaxy pair IC 2163/NGC 2207. Our observations apparently catch this pair in the early stages of massive cloud formation. The clouds, which are comparable in mass to dwarf galaxies, are fundamentally clumps in the gas, not clumps in the stellar component. The HI velocity dispersion in the clouds and in much of the main disk of NGC 2207 is, typically, 40 km s-1, a factor of 4 times higher than in normal disk galaxies. We propose that the high velocity dispersion of the gas is the key to why these clouds are at least 10 times more massive than the largest clouds in normal disk galaxies: the Jeans mass scales as the fourth power of the effective velocity dispersion. Such massive clouds can form by common gravitational instabilities where the Jeans mass is high and where the local value of the instability parameter for the gas is below threshold, e.g. in the outer disk and arms. Some of the massive clouds may later become large star formation complexes.

We present calculations showing how both transient effects associated with nonaxisymmetric seed fields, and an interaction with a companion, can produce BSS type magnetic structure in a spiral galaxy.

We discuss some aspects of the interrelationship between the dynamo problem for galaxies and their dynamics. First, we consider the generation of magnetic fields in the presence of fountain flows and galactic winds. Next, we discuss the distortion of a steady magnetic field by tidal effects and other transient spiral features. Finally, we give an expression for the amplitude of density waves generated by large-scale non-axisymmetric fields.

We present an N-body simulation of a galaxy with a long-lived two-armed spiral pattern. The model consists of a static bulge and halo and an active disk of 60,000 particles. The disk contains 41 % of the total mass of the system. The resulting rotation curve has a steeply rising central part and is falling at larger radii. Half of the disk particles represents an old stellar population, half of them gas clouds that can collide inelastically with each other.

A companion can induce a varitey of morphological changes in a galaxy. I use N-body simulations to study the effects of different kinds of perturbations on the dynamics of a disk galaxy. The model is two-dimensional, with a disk consisting of about 60,000 particles. Most of the particles (80 %) represent the old stellar population with a high velocity dispersion, while the rest (20 %) represent gas clouds with a low velocity dispersion. Initially, the velocity dispersion corresponds to Q = 1 for the “star” particles, and Q = 0 for the “gas” particles, where Q is Toomre’s (1964) stability parameter. The gas clouds can collide inelastically. The disk is stabilized by a rigid halo potential, and by the random motions of the old “star” particles. To simulate the effect of an encounter on the disk, a companion galaxy, modelled as a point mass, can move in a co-planar orbit around the disk. A complete description of the N-body code is found in Thomasson (1989).

Summary
Problem under study
We study interactions between disc galaxies, in particular the case of a main system and a small perturber. Here we look at the behaviour using a responsive disturber in contrast to the more common approximation of a rigid mass distribution. It is possible to isolate the effect of the perturber's dynamics by studying the difference between simulations with and without internal motion in the disturber. One facet of extended systems is the possible stripping of cool gas from the smaller galaxy in the case when the systems do not merge. Another line of study is cloud-cloud collisions, their impact on cooling the gas and keeping the velocity dispersion down.
Numerical model
A particle-mesh code is used to simulate these systems. It is possible to evolve a 2-dimensional Cartesian grid (512 × 512 maximum) with 200K particles in a reasonable time (approximately 15s/time-step). The code is quite flexible since it does not need any description of the free populations other than their mass density and desired velocity dispersion. An option is to use a rigid potential in order to mimic a hot (spherical) component. The rigid components are moved along with the centre of mass for the respective system.
Experiments
The experiment displayed in the poster session had two galaxies with a mass ratio of 5:1. The orbit was initially parabolic and direct, as seen from the larger system's point of view.
