Applying the manifold theory to Milky Way models: First steps on morphology and kinematics

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
We present recent results obtained by applying invariant manifold techniques to analytical models of the Milky Way. It has been shown that invariant manifolds can reproduce successfully the spiral arms and rings in external barred galaxies. Here, for the

Chaotic Spiral Galaxies

, 2011
We study the role of asymptotic curves in supporting the spiral structure of a N-body model simulating a barred spiral galaxy. Chaotic orbits with initial conditions on the unstable asymptotic curves of the main unstable periodic orbits follow the shape ...

Physical Properties of Gas Departing from Circular Rotation at 50 pc Scales Using the PHANGS-MUSE Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal
Noncircular (NC) motions have been observed across various spatial scales in disk galaxies, yet the physical properties of the gas involved in these motions remain poorly constrained.

Secular Evolution and the Formation of Pseudobulges in Disk Galaxies

, 2004
We review internal processes of secular evolution in galaxy disks, concentrating on the buildup of dense central features that look like classical, merger-built bulges but that were made slowly out of disk gas. We call these pseudobulges. As an existence

Automated Detection of Galactic Rings from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Images

The Astrophysical Journal
Morphological features in galaxies—like spiral arms, bars, rings, and tidal tails, etc.—carry information about their structure, origin, and evolution.

Bars do drive spiral density waves

, 2010
Recently, Buta etal. (2009) examined the question "Do Bars Drive Spiral Density Waves?", an idea supported by theoretical studies and also from a preliminary observational analysis Block etal (2004).

ALMA-LEGUS. II. The Influence of Subgalactic Environments on Molecular Cloud Properties

The Astrophysical Journal
We compare the molecular cloud properties in subgalactic regions of two galaxies, barred spiral NGC 1313, which is forming many massive clusters, and flocculent spiral NGC 7793, which is forming significantly fewer massive clusters despite having a ...
