Journal Article
Lacey, C. (1984). The influence of massive gas clouds on stellar velocity dispersions in galactic discs. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 208(4), 687-707. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/208.4.687

This paper calculates the evolution of the three components of the velocity dispersion of the stars in a galactic disc due to the influence of massive gas clouds in circular orbits in the disc. We find that there are two phases in this evolution: an... Read More about The influence of massive gas clouds on stellar velocity dispersions in galactic discs.
