Scientific paper

Six spiral galaxies (NGC 253, NGC 2903, M 106, M 63, M 51, and M 83) are studied in their H I and magnetic field distributions. There is a possible link between the two distributions, such that a spiral-galaxy with a regularly shaped (VA equals 1) or moderately arched (VA equals 2) disk of neutral hydrogen seems to have a regular axisymmetric azimuthal magnetic field (Mazim equals 0). Conversely, a sprial galaxy with a strongly arched (VA equals 3) or extremely arched (VA equals 4) disk of neutral hydrogen seems to have a beautifully-shaped bisymmetric azimuthal magnetic field (Mazim equals 1).
