Magnetic fields are fundamental to the dynamics of both accretion disks and the jets that they often drive. We review the basic physics of these phenomena, the past and current efforts to model them numerically with an emphasis on the…

The evolution of three-dimensional, large-scale, magnetic fields, in a galactic disk is investigated numerically. The N-body simulations of galactic dynamics are incorporated into the kinematic calculations of induction equations to study…

An impact model of gravity designed to emulate Newton's law of gravitation is applied to the radial acceleration of disk galaxies. Based on this model (Wilhelm et al. 2013), the rotation velocity curves can be understood without the need to…

Galaxy clusters are currently the endpoint of the hierarchical structure formation; they form via the accretion of dark matter and cosmic gas from their local environment. In particular, filaments contribute grandly by accreting gas from…

In this work, we submit the explanation of spectra of the rotary curves of galaxies on the basis of a vector theory of gravitation without regard to the dark matter hypothesis. We study the approximation of rotary curves in case of existing…

The disks of galaxies are primarily stellar systems, and fundamentally dynamical entities. Thus, to fully understand galactic disks, we must study their stellar kinematics as well as their morphologies. Observational techniques have now…

To investigate the role of magnetic fields in the evolution of the interstellar medium, formation and evolution of molecular clouds, and ultimately the formation of stars, their three-dimensional (3D) magnetic fields must be probed.…

Disk galaxies contain a large amount of interstellar dust, which affects the projection of kinematic quantities. We investigate in detail the effects of dust extinction on the mean projected velocity and the projected velocity dispersion.…

This paper describes in some detail the concept of bivector gauge fields and then examines the possibility of confirming their existence by recording certain patterns in variation of intensity of radiation from distant cosmic sources versus…

To understand the processes that build up galaxies we investigate the stellar structure and gas kinematics of spiral and irregular galaxies out to redshift 1. We target 92 galaxies in four cluster (z = 0.3 & 0.5) fields to study the…

Observations of synchrotron radiation and the Faraday rotation of its polarized component allow us to investigate the magnetic properties of the diffuse interstellar medium in nearby galaxies, on scales down to roughly one hundred parsecs.…

While galaxy rotation curves provide one of the most powerful methods for measuring dark matter profiles in the inner regions of rotation-supported galaxies, at the dwarf scale there are factors that can complicate this analysis. Given the…

A procedure is described of construction of velocity fields and velocity dispersion of the stellar component in the central regions of galaxies on the basis of data obtained with the integral field spectrograph MPFS. Cross-correlation and…

To illustrate the potential of GDR2, we provide a first look at the kinematics of the Milky Way disc, within a radius of several kiloparsecs around the Sun. We benefit for the first time from a sample of 6.4 million F-G-K stars with full 6D…

Due to our vantage point in the disk of the Galaxy, its 3D structure is not directly accessible. However, knowing the spatial distribution, e.g. of atomic and molecular hydrogen gas is of great importance for interpreting and modelling…
