GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
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…
Capturing the short-term characteristics of a barred galaxy from a single snapshot
P. Sánchez-Martín, J. Amorós, J. J. Masdemont
Using a dataset of stars from a barred galaxy that provides instantaneous positions and velocities in the sky, we propose a method to identify its key structures, such as the centr…
Formation of asymmetric arms in barred galaxies
P. Sánchez-Martín, C. García-Gómez, J. J. Masdemont +1
We establish a dynamical mechanism to explain the origin of the asymmetry between the arms observed in some barred disk galaxies, where one of the two arms emanating from the bar e…
From Manifolds to Lagrangian Coherent Structures in galactic bar models
Patricia Sanchez-Martin, Josep. J. Masdemont, Merce Romero-Gomez
We study the dynamics near the unstable Lagrangian points in galactic bar models using dynamical system tools in order to determine the global morphology of a barred galaxy. We aim…
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…
