Errata:
</h2>
<br>
p. 19 In Fig. 2.8, the pitch angle is measured between a tangent to the
arm and a tangent to the circle at that radius. The tangent to the
circle is not shown in the drawing.
<br>
p. 31 J. McGaugh and R. Schombert should be S. McGaugh and J. Schombert
<br>
p. 45 The statistical weights are given by g=2n^2 for transitions
between levels. The formula g=2J+1 applies to fine structure transitions
within a level, while g=2f+1 applies to hyperfine transitions.  
<br>
p. 53 Figure 3.18: horizontal axis number should have decimals: -0.4, 0,
0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0
<br>
p. 71 Table 4.2: last line [0.075-0.10(T-3)... should be [0.075-0.01(T-3)...
<br>
p. 82 the equation should have -0.26, not +0.26, since 2.5 log (pi/4) is
negative. So, p. 83 for N1300 should be a surface brightness of 23.33
with this correction.
<br>
p. 82 last line should have /10 in denominator, 60 in numerator
<br>
p. 117 Figure caption missing last line: by J. Salzer, Wesleyan
University and D. Elmegreen)
<br>
p. 124 Figure should be flipped vertically
<br>
p. 125 Figure y-axis should be atoms/cm^2
<br>
p. 135 problem 4 ...= -0.25 mag arcsec^-2 should be -0.25 mu mag
arcsec^-2
 (where mu is the surface brightness)
<br>
p. 160 Problem 2 v=10^5 should be v=10^2
<br>
p. 196 the first equation is inverted and should read 2(omega_0)/kappa=sqrt(-(A-B)/B)
<br>
p. 199 should refer to Chapter 7 (not Chapter 6)
<br>
p. 202 outer 4:1 is omega-omega_P=-kappa/4 (i.e., include - sign)
<br>
p. 223 First equation should be g(r) = GM(r)/r^2 = (4/3) pi G rho r
<br>
p. 229 Figure caption (right) should say (middle; then add (right) The
combined effects may be difficult to sort out.
<br>
p. 234 Problem 5: add: at r=10 kpc, assuming a velocity dispersion of 5
km/s.
<br>
p. 255 eqn. should be v(apparent)/v(true)= sin(theta)/(1-v(true) cos(theta)/c)
<br> 
p. 258 Problem 2 replace "moves 5 milliarcsec" with " is 5 degrees from the
line-of-sight".
<br>
p. 265 right-hand figure: y axis is apparent magnitude, not absolute
magnitude
<br>
p. 266 2x10**9 Mpc should be 2x10**9 pc
<br>
p. 274 after eqn. should say "will tidally disrupt"
<br>
p. 277 Figure 12.17 caption should be NGC 5427 and NGC 5426 (not NGC
5428)
<br>
p. 284 10^22 gm/cm (not gm/cm^3)
<br>
p. 285 Fig. 12.26 figure caption (bottom left) and (bottom right) are reversed.
<br>
p. 294 joule = 10^7 erg
<br>
p. 298 Figure: Interarm (not Interam)
