Abstract
The gravitational interaction between stars and the interstellar gas leads to the excitation of velocity and density fluctuations which may be substantial even for stable modes. Expressions for these fluctuations are derived in the framework of a linearized theory. The relevance of the results for a number of astrophysical problems is pointed out.
