Testing for relics of past strong buckling events in edge-on galaxies: Simulation predictions and data from S${}^4$G

V. Cuomo, V. P. Debattista, S. Racz +7

The short-lived buckling instability is responsible for the formation of at least some box/peanut (B/P) shaped bulges, which are observed in most massive, $z=0$, barred galaxies. N…
