Three-Dimensional Bar Structure and Disc/Bulge Secular Evolution
M. Bureau, G. Aronica, E. Athanassoula
Kn-band imaging of a sample of 30 edge-on spiral galaxies with a boxy or peanut-shaped (B/PS) bulge is discussed. Galaxies with a B/PS bulge tend to have a more complex morphology…
Bars and the connection between dark and visible matter
E. Athanassoula
Isolated barred galaxies evolve by redistributing their internal angular momentum, which is emitted mainly at the inner disc resonances and absorbed mainly at the resonances in the…
Formation and evolution of bars in disc galaxies
E. Athanassoula
I follow a bar from its formation, via its evolution, to its destruction and, perhaps, regeneration. I discuss the main features at each stage and particularly the role of the halo…
New Results on Bar-Halo Interactions
E. Athanassoula
In this paper I argue that, far from necessarily hindering bar formation in disc galaxies, inner haloes may stimulate it. This constitutes a new instability mechanism by which bars…
Isolated and Interacting Galaxies : Simulations with GRAPE
E. Athanassoula
I present N-body simulations of isolated and interacting galaxies, made on GRAPE machines. In particular I discuss the formation and evolution of N-body bars and compare their prop…
Gas flow in barred galaxies
E. Athanassoula
I briefly review the properties of the gas flow in and around the region of the bar in a disc galaxy and discuss the corresponding inflow and the loci of star formation. I then rev…
