Va. Antonov et As. Baranov, Amplification of spiral density waves in gaseous and dust galactic disks as a result of interaction with the halo, ASTRON REP, 44(10), 2000, pp. 647-653
The effect of the discrete structure of the halo on local oscillations of a
galactic disk is analyzed. Such effects have much in common with dynamical
friction. Gaseous and stellar disks are considered; in both cases, some le
ading spiral density waves are unstable. Bending oscillations of the disk c
an also be unstable when the disk interacts with the halo. (C) 2000 MAIK "N
