Linked from

The 17 pages that link to Galactic disk, each with the reason it gives.

• Milky WayBroader topic: Most of the Milky Way’s visible stars and star-forming gas lie in its disk.

• Ram-pressure strippingRelated: Its gas responds to stripping according to its position and gravitational binding.

• Spiral galaxyBroader topic: The disk contains the spiral arms and most of the galaxy’s cold gas.

• Hubble sequenceRelated: The presence and structure of a disk separate lenticular and spiral forms from ellipticals.

• Barred spiral galaxyRelated: The bar and spiral arms are structures embedded in this rotating component.

• Galactic bulgeRelated: The disk surrounds the bulge in many spiral galaxies.

• Lenticular galaxyBroader topic: Its disk distinguishes lenticular galaxies structurally from most elliptical galaxies.

• Galactic archaeologyRelated: Its distinct stellar populations record prolonged star formation and changes in the disk.

• Spiral armNarrower topic: Spiral arms extend through this component.

• Galactic barRelated: The bar forms from disk material and lies within the disk’s plane.

• Galactic planeBroader topic: The galactic plane is the central midplane of the Milky Way’s disk.

• Orion ArmRelated: The Orion Arm lies within the Milky Way’s disk.

• Pinwheel GalaxyBroader topic: Its nearly face-on orientation exposes the Pinwheel’s disk and spiral pattern.

• Galactic astronomyBroader topic: Its spiral structure and stellar populations are central targets of Galactic surveys.

• High-velocity cloudCompared with: Disk gas largely follows organized rotation, unlike the defining anomalous motion of these clouds.

• Scutum–Centaurus ArmRelated: The arm is a large-scale structure within the Milky Way’s disk.

• Unbarred spiral galaxyRelated: The absence of a prominent bar is judged in the disk's stellar structure.
