%0 Journal Article %T Models of Late-Type Disk Galaxies: 1-D Versus 2-D %A Tadas Mineikis %A Vladas Vansevi£żius %J Physics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We investigate the effects of stochasticity on the observed galaxy parameters by comparing our stochastic star formation two-dimensional (2-D) galaxy evolution models with the commonly used one-dimensional (1-D) models with smooth star formation. The 2-D stochastic models predict high variability of the star formation rate and the surface photometric parameters across the galactic disks and in time. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1502.00232v1
