I'm not an astrophysicist, but I asked one. She mostly talked about the galaxy's potential well, the galactic spin (which is higher at the center), and kinematic interactions between baryons (gas and stars, principally). I mentioned magnetism and she said that it isn't really her field, so she didn't give much comment...

They all interplay, within a system.
