Invariant manifolds in barred galaxy simulations. II. Quantitative evidence of manifold-trapping in spiral arm formation
Toni Soler-Terricabras, Mercè Romero-Gómez, Santi Roca-Fàbrega
The main goal of this work is to quantify, through a robust methodology, the contribution of invariant manifolds to the formation of spiral arms in a pure N-body simulation, settin…
Arm morphology in off-centre barred galaxies
P. Sánchez-Martín, M. López-Vilamajó, M. Romero-Gómez +1
Many barred galaxies, including the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), display strong lopsidedness and off-centre bars. The dynamical connection between bar-disc misalignments, internal…
Warp evidences in precessing galactic bar models
Patricia Sanchez-Martin, Merce Romero-Gomez, Josep J. Masdemont
Most galaxies have a warped shape when they are seen from an edge-on point of view. The reason for this curious form is not completely known so far and in this work we apply dynami…
