Conference on: Warped Disks and Inclined Rings Around Galaxies; May 30 - June 1, l990, Pittsburgh, PA.

虽然螺旋星系的扭曲盘和气环很少见，但在它们存在的地方，它们可以有力地诊断适用于所有星系的动力学过程。它们被发现的频率也越来越高。这笔赠款为研究这些令人费解的物体的活跃工作者国际会议提供了部分支持。匹兹堡超级计算中心距离会议很近，预计将促进数值模拟专家和观察者之间富有成效的互动，特别是那些专门研究中性氢运动和分布的人。

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.
