Metal-Poor Stars in the MW Disk: Resonant Cooling of Vertical Oscillations of Halo Stars in Barred Galaxies

Xingchen Li, Isaac Shlosman, Daniel Pfenniger +1

Using numerical simulations of barred disk galaxy embedded in nonspinning and spinning dark matter (DM) halos, we present a novel mechanism of `cooling' the vertical oscillations o…

Evolution of Stellar Bars in Spinning Dark Matter Halos and Stellar Bulges

Xingchen Li, Isaac Shlosman, Daniel Pfenniger +1

We use high-resolution numerical simulations to follow the barred disk evolution in a suite of models with progressively more massive stellar bulges, with bulge-to-total (diskbu…

Stellar Bars in Spinning Halos: Delayed Buckling and Absence of Slowdown

Xingchen Li, Isaac Shlosman, Clayton Heller +1

We use high resolution numerical simulations in order to analyze the stellar bar evolution in spinning dark matter (DM) halos. Previous works have shown that the halo spin has a su…

The Origin of Buckling Instability in Galactic Bars: Searching for the Scapegoat

Xingchen Li, Isaac Shlosman, Daniel Pfenniger +1

The buckling process in stellar bars is full of unsolved issues. We analyze the origin of the buckling instability in stellar bars using high-resolution N-body simulations. Previou…

Producing flow in "racetrack" atom circuits by stirring at zero and non-zero temperature

Benjamin Eller, Olatunde Oladehin, Daniel Fogarty +3

We present a study of how macroscopic flow can be produced in Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a "racetrack" potential by stirring with a wide rectangular barrier. This potenti…

Stellar Bars in Counter-Rotating Dark Matter Halos: The Role of Halo Orbit Reversals

Angela Collier, Isaac Shlosman, Clayton Heller

Disk galaxies can exchange angular momentum and baryons with their host dark matter (DM) halos. These halos possess internal spin, `lambda', which is insignificant rotationally but…
