While warped disks and gaseous rings of spiral galaxies are rare, where they exist they can be powerful diagnostics of dynamical processes which apply in all galaxies. They are also being discovered with increasing frequency. This grant provides partial support for an international conference of active workers studying these puzzling objects. The proximity of the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center to the meeting is expected to stimulate fruitful interactions between specialists in numerical simulation and observers, particularly those specializing in studies of the motion and distribution of neutral hydrogen.

虽然很少见翘曲的磁盘和气态环，但它们可以成为适用于所有星系的动态过程的有力诊断。 它们也以频率越来越多的速度发现。 该赠款为研究这些令人困惑的物体的积极工人会议提供了部分支持。 匹兹堡超级计算中心与会议的接近度有望刺激数值模拟中的专家与观察者之间的富有成果的相互作用，尤其是那些专门研究中性氢的运动和分布的人。
