Abstract
A method is described for calculating the reflection and transmission coefficients characterizing normal modes of the Goldreich–Lynden-Bell gas sheet. Two families of gas discs without self-gravity for which the normal modes can be found analytically are given and used to illustrate the validity of the sheet approximation.Keywords
