Order and Chaos in the Local Disc Stellar Kinematics
R. Fux
The effects of the Galactic bar on the velocity distribution of old disc stars in the Solar neighbourhood are investigated using high-resolution 2D test particle simulations. A det…
Stellar Streams in the Solar Neighbourhood from High Resolution N-Body Simulations
R. Fux
A high-resolution N-body simulation suggests that stellar streams in the discs of barred galaxies are common and strongly time-dependent. The velocity distribution of stars in the…
3D self-consistent N-body barred models of the Milky Way: II. Gas dynamics
R. Fux
The gas dynamics in the Galactic disc is modeled by releasing an initially axisymmetric SPH component in a completely self-consistent and symmetry-free 3D N-body simulation of the…
Gas dynamics in the Galactic bar region
R. Fux
New constraints on the Milky Way's bar parameters are derived from the gaseous spiral structure within the Galactic bar, and in particular from the identification of the dustlanes…
Interpreting the main HI and CO l-V features in the Galactic bar from self-consistent stellar and gas dynamical models
R. Fux
A new picture accounting for the dominant features in the observed l-V distribution of the Milky Way gas within the central few kpcs is proposed, based on symmetry-free and high re…
