Scientific paper

A mechanism for the origin and development of spiral arms proposed earlier by one of the authors (P. P.) is recalled to show that spiral structure in the nucleus of a galaxy can be produced by matter ejected from a rotating nucleus. The mechanism can account for the observations of outward and/or inward motions in the nuclear regions of spirals. In particular the model applied to the tight nuclear spiral of NGC 4736 shows satisfactory agreement with observations.
