Iron Snails: Nonequilibrium Dynamics and Spiral Abundance Patterns by Neige Frankel, David W. Hogg, Scott Tremaine, Adrian Price-Whelan, Jeff Shen

“…However, stellar labels such as metallicity, or other element abundances, or stellar masses and ages, can be measured even in the face of complex or unknown spatial selection functions. We show that if the equilibrium galaxy has phase-space gradients in these labels, any perturbation that could raise a spiral wave in the phase-space density will raise a spiral wave in the distribution of labels as well. …”
