Tree-ring structure of Galactic bar resonance in N-body simulations
Rimpei Chiba, Michiko Fujii, Junichi Baba +2
We study the structure and evolution of the galactic bar's resonant phase-space in self-consistent N-body simulations of the Milky Way, with and without perturbations from the Sagi…

Galaxy fly-bys sustain bar-halo friction and bar slowdown in disk galaxies
Rumi Kodama, Rimpei Chiba, Tetsuro Asano +2
Bars in disk galaxies slow down as they transfer their angular momentum to their dark matter halo via dynamical friction from near-resonant orbits. This bar-halo dynamical friction…

Ripples spreading across the Galactic disc. Interplay of direct and indirect effects of the Sagittarius dwarf impact
Tetsuro Asano, Michiko S. Fujii, Junichi Baba +2
Gaia data have revealed vertically asymmetric phase-space structures in the Milky Way (MW) disc, such as phase spirals, indicating vertical oscillations. These oscillations exhibit…
