Abstract
The empirical foundations for theories concerning galactic dynamics are the results of observation concerning stellar motions and the state of motion of interstellar matter, as well as on the distribution in space of stars and of interstellar gas and dust. Lately the occurrence of interstellar magnetic fields and the possible importance of electromagnetic forces have come into the picture.
