Bar formation and evolution in disc galaxies with gas and a triaxial halo: Morphology, bar strength and halo properties
E. Athanassoula, R. E. G. Machado, S. A. Rodionov
We follow the formation and evolution of bars in N-body simulations of disc galaxies with gas and/or a triaxial halo. We find that both the relative gas fraction and the halo shape…

Loss of halo triaxiality due to bar formation
Rubens E. G. Machado, E. Athanassoula
Cosmological N-body simulations indicate that the dark matter haloes of galaxies should be generally triaxial. Yet, the presence of a baryonic disc is believed to alter the shape o…
