Can chaotic motion be responsible for the formation of spiral arms?

We investigate a number of iso-energetic N-body models of rotating galaxies, i.e. models that have the same total mass and the same total binding energy, but different amount of total angular momentum. These models are also in the same scalar virial equilibrium.We show that density waves grow so tha...
