Galactic dynamics is the study of the motion and interactions of celestial objects within galaxies, encompassing the gravitational forces that shape their structure and evolution. As a key area of research in astrophysics, understanding galactic dynamics is crucial for gaining insights into the formation and behavior of galaxies, including our own Milky Way, and sheds light on the complex interplay between dark matter, stars, and gas that governs their dynamics.
