Barflow: Modeling Gas Kinematics of Bar-Driven Flows

Seungwon Baek, Woong-Tae Kim, Taehyun Kim +2

We present self-consistent -body/hydrodynamical simulations of isolated, Milky Way-like galaxies with stellar and gaseous disks. By varying the initial gas fraction, we find tha…

SMUGGLE-Ring: Evolutionary link between nuclear star cluster and nuclear disk

SungWon Kwak, Mathias Schultheis, Ivan Minchev +8

We present a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of the formation and evolution of nuclear structures in a Milky Way-mass galaxy using the SMUGGLE model. The system naturally…

The SMUGGLE-Ring project: Bar and bulge effects on nuclear disk and ring formation

SungWon Kwak, Federico Marinacci, Matthias Steinmetz +8

We present the first results from the SMUGGLE-Ring project, a suite of simulations employing the SMUGGLE ISM and stellar feedback model to explore nuclear structures in Milky Way-m…

Dark gaps and resonances in barred galaxies

Taehyun Kim, Dimitri A. Gadotti, Myeong-gu Park +4

Dark gaps, low surface brightness regions along the bar minor axis, are expected to form as a consequence of secular evolution in barred galaxies. Although several studies have pro…

Conditions for Bar Formation in Bulgeless Disk Galaxies

Dajeong Jang, Woong-Tae Kim, Yun Hee Lee

While bars are commonly observed in disk galaxies, the precise conditions governing their formation remain incompletely understood. To investigate these conditions, we perform a su…

Dissecting Bar-Induced Stellar Kinematics in Disk Galaxies: The Bisymmetric Model and Rotation Curve Modifications

Seungwon Baek, Woong-Tae Kim, Dajeong Jang +1

We analyze bars formed in -body simulations to investigate two key aspects of stellar kinematic structure of barred galaxies: the angular distributions of the radial and azimuth…

Do strong bars exhibit strong non-circular motions?

Taehyun Kim, Dimitri A. Gadotti, Yun Hee Lee +4

Galactic bars induce characteristic motions deviating from pure circular rotation, known as non-circular motions. As bars are non-axisymmetric structures, stronger bars are expecte…

Effects of Halo Spin on Bar Formation in Disk Galaxies

Dajeong Jang, Woong-Tae Kim

The spin of dark halos has been shown to significantly affect bar formation and evolution in disk galaxies. To understand the physical role of the halo spin on bar formation, we ru…

Impacts of bar-driven shear and shocks on star formation

Taehyun Kim, Dimitri A. Gadotti, Miguel Querejeta +12

Bars drive gas inflow. As the gas flows inwards, shocks and shear occur along the bar dust lanes. Such shocks and shear can affect the star formation and change the gas properties.…
