Abstract
A theory of bending waves is surveyed which provides an explanation for the required amplification of the warp in the Milky Way. It also provides for self-generated warps in isolated external galaxies. The shape of observed warps and partly their existence in isolated galaxies are indicative of substantial spheroidal components. The theory also provides a plausible explanation for the bending of the inner disk (< 2 kpc) of the Milky Way.
Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract Number W-7405-ENG-48
