The normal mode theory for warping of galaxy disks, in which disks are assumed to be tilted with respect to the equator of a massive, flattened dark halo, assumes a rigid, fixed halo. However, consideration of the back-reaction by a…

We extend the work of Chang & Chakrabarti (2011) to find simple scaling relations between the density response of the gas disk of a spiral galaxy and the pericenter distance and mass ratio of a perturbing satellite. From the analysis of…

We use cosmological N-body/gasdynamical simulations that include star formation and feedback to examine the proposal that scaling laws between the total luminosity, rotation speed, and angular momentum of disk galaxies reflect analogous…

We review recent 3D high resolution numerical HD and MHD studies of a multi-component and multi-phase ISM. The computational grid was chosen large enough in the disk to represent typical ISM gas patterns, and in the halo to include the full…

We study the interaction of galactic wind with hot halo gas using hydrodynamical simulations. We find that the outcome of this interaction depends crucially on the wind injection density and velocity. Various phases of the extraplanar media…

Using 21cm HI observations from the Parkes Radio Telescope's Galactic All-Sky Survey, we measure 255 HI clouds in the lower Galactic halo that are located near the tangent points at 16.9 < l < 35.3 degrees and |b| < 20 degrees. The clouds…

Galactic disks in triaxial dark matter halos become deformed by the elliptical potential in the plane of the disk in such a way as to counteract the halo ellipticity. We develop a technique to calculate the equilibrium configuration of such…
