Dynamical Processes in the Central Kpc and Active Galactic Nuclei
Isaac Shlosman
We discuss different aspects of nested bar dynamics and its effect on the gas flow and fueling of Active Galactic Nuclei. Specifically we focus on the dynamical decoupling between…
Nested Bars and Associated Morphology of Central Kpc in Disk Galaxies
Isaac Shlosman
We discuss different aspects of nested bar systems, both observational and theoretical. Such systems consist of a large-scale primary bar leading to the formation of a sub-kpc size…
Dynamics of the Central kpc in Barred Galaxies: Theory and Modeling
Isaac Shlosman
The central kpc of barred galaxies exhibits a wealth of morphological information on different components with clear dynamical consequences. These include nuclear rings, spirals, b…
Shaping the central structure in CDM halos
Amr El-Zant, Isaac Shlosman, Yehuda Hoffman
Coupling the dark matter (DM) and baryonic components in galaxies via dynamical friction (by allowing the latter to be clumpy) leads to energy input into the DM. The resulting expa…
Stellar Orbits in Barred Galaxies with Nuclear Rings
C. H. Heller, I. Shlosman
We investigate the dynamical response of stellar orbits in a rotating barred galaxy potential to the perturbation by a nuclear gaseous ring. The change in 3D periodic orbit familie…
