Bar-driven Transport of Molecular Gas in Spiral Galaxies: Observational Evidence
Kazushi Sakamoto
The NRO-OVRO CO imaging survey showed that molecular gas was more concentrated to the central kiloparsec in barred spiral galaxies than in their unbarred counterparts. The result p…

Radial Transport of Molecular Gas to the Nuclei of Spiral Galaxies
K. Sakamoto, S. K. Okumura, S. Ishizuki +1
The NRO/OVRO imaging survey of molecular gas in 20 spiral galaxies is used to test the theoretical predictions on bar-driven gas transport, bar dissolution, and bulge evolution. In…
