Validation of a Third Planet in the LHS 1678 System

Michele L. Silverstein, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder +24

The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely-brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The…

The intrinsic shape of bulges

J. Mendez-Abreu, E. Simonneau, J. A. L. Aguerri +1

The structural parameters of a magnitude-limited sample of 148 unbarred S0-Sb galaxies were derived using the GASP2D algorithm and then analyzed to derive the intrinsic shape of th…

The influence of the environment on bar formation

J. Mendez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, S. Zarattini +2

Galaxy mergers and interactions are mechanisms which could drive the formation of bars. Therefore, we could expect that the fraction of barred galaxies increases with the local den…

The population of barred galaxies in the local universe I. Detection and characterisation of bars

J. A. L. Aguerri, J. Mendez-Abreu, E. M. Corsini

(Abridge) Bars are very common in the centre of the disc galaxies, and they drive the evolution of their structure. A volume-limited sample of 2106 disc galaxies extracted from the…

Boxy/Peanut bulges and stellar bars

Martinez-Valpuesta, I., Athanassoula +1

Boxy/peanut bulges in disc galaxies have been associated to stellar bars. We analyse their properties in a large sample of -body simulations, using different methods to measure…
