The two-phase formation history of spiral galaxies traced by the cosmic evolution of the bar fraction

open access: yes, 2012
We study the evolution of galactic bars and the link with disk and spheroid formation in a sample of zoom-in cosmological simulations. Our simulation sample focuses on galaxies with present-day stellar masses in the 10^10-10^11 Msun range, in field and ...

Tracing Coherent Gas Structures in the Central Region of the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253. II. Gas Excitation and Star Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Molecular gas in the central region of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 is complicated because of the combination of different gas kinematics, including stellar feedback, noncircular motions, and magnetic activity.

Bar-induced central star formation as revealed by integral field spectroscopy from CALIFA

open access: yes, 2017
We investigate the recent star formation history (SFH) in the inner region of 57 nearly face-on spiral galaxies selected from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey. For each galaxy we use the integral field spectroscopy from CALIFA to

The Clearing Timescale for Infrared-selected Star Clusters in M83 with HST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present an analysis of Hubble Space Telescope data from Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3)/Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer, WFC3/IR, and the Advanced Camera for Surveys, investigating the young stellar cluster (YSC) population in the face-on spiral galaxy ...

Supernovae and their host galaxies - II. The relative frequencies of supernovae types in spirals

open access: yes, 2014
We present an analysis of the relative frequencies of different supernova (SN) types in spirals with various morphologies and in barred or unbarred galaxies.

Ring or No Ring—Revisiting the Multiphase Nuclear Environment in M31

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Nuclear rings, prevalent in barred galaxies, are essential to understanding gas transport toward galactic nuclei. However, the peculiar nuclear ring in our neighboring galaxy M31 remains poorly understood.

The NGC 3109 Satellite System: The First Systematic Resolved Search for Dwarf Galaxies Around an SMC-mass Host

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the results of the deepest search to date for dwarf galaxies around NGC 3109, a barred spiral galaxy with a mass similar to that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using a semiautomated search method. Using the Dark Energy Camera, we survey a

Enhanced star formation: The importance of bars in spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes
It was found that among an IR luminous subset of nearby spiral galaxies, nearly all of the systems with IRAS colors and luminosities indicative of enhanced star formation are barred.
