Our Milky Way as a Pure-Disk Galaxy -- A Challenge for Galaxy Formation
Juntai Shen, R. Michael Rich, John Kormendy +3
Bulges are commonly believed to form in the dynamical violence of galaxy collisions and mergers. Here we model the stellar kinematics of the Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA), an…
Long-lived double-barred galaxies in N-body simulations
Juntai Shen, Victor Debattista
Many barred galaxies harbor small-scale secondary bars in the center. The evolution of such double-barred galaxies is still not well understood, partly because of a lack of realist…
The VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies (VENGA): Survey Design and First Results
Guillermo A. Blanc, Karl Gebhardt, Amanda Heiderman +14
VENGA is a large-scale extragalactic IFU survey, which maps the bulges, bars and large parts of the outer disks of 32 nearby normal spiral galaxies. The targets are chosen to span…
