Iron Snails: Nonequilibrium Dynamics and Spiral Abundance Patterns

Galaxies are not in a dynamical steady state: they continually undergo perturbations, e.g., from infalling dwarf galaxies and dark matter substructure. After a dynamical perturbation, stars phase mix toward a new steady state; in so doing, they generally form spiral structures, such as spiral densit...
