Clumps in high-redshift spiral galaxies are smaller than commonly reported, spatially concentrated toward spiral arms, smaller but brighter inside arms than between them, with similar colors, suggesting arms stimulate clump formation but do not alter their star formation properties.

Observational study finds spiral structure correlates with steeper metallicity gradients, larger bulges with shallower gradients and higher metallicities, but no gradient differences from bars or spiral winding tightness.

Clumps in spiral galaxies at $z \lesssim 3$: Disentangling two spatial modes of star formation
Clumps in high-redshift spiral galaxies are smaller than commonly reported, spatially concentrated toward spiral arms, smaller but brighter inside arms than between them, with similar colors, suggesting arms stimulate clump formation but do not alter their star formation properties.

The Impact of Bars, Spirals and Bulge-Size on Gas-Phase Metallicity Gradients in MaNGA Galaxies
Observational study finds spiral structure correlates with steeper metallicity gradients, larger bulges with shallower gradients and higher metallicities, but no gradient differences from bars or spiral winding tightness.
