Gaseous Vortices in Barred Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 Simulations of the gas flow in a variety of two-dimensional barred spiral galaxies have shown that vortices in the gas appear, when viewed from above, in the corotation frame of the bar. These low-density vortices generally appear at or near the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points.

TESTING THEORIES IN BARRED-SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 According to one version of the recently proposed "manifold" theory that explains the origin of spirals and rings in relation to chaotic orbits, galaxies with stronger bars should have a higher spiral arms pitch angle when compared to galaxies with weaker bars.

Molecular Bars in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996 Images of molecular gas in spiral galaxies show two types of bar structure: large-scale bars, which are correlated with the presence of stellar bars, and generally follow the spiral structure, and nuclear “bars” of a few hundred parsecs in size, which show no direct correlation with the presence of a stellar bar.

Dawes Review 4: Spiral Structures in Disc Galaxies [PDF]
, 2014 The majority of astrophysics involves the study of spiral galaxies, and stars and planets within them, but how spiral arms in galaxies form and evolve is still a fundamental problem. Major progress in this field was made primarily in the 1960s, and early

Bar-driven Transport of Molecular Gas to Galactic Centers and Its Consequences [PDF]
, 1999 We study the characteristics of molecular gas in the central regions of spiral galaxies on the basis of our CO(J=1-0) imaging survey of 20 nearby spiral galaxies using the NRO and OVRO millimeter arrays. Condensations of molecular gas at galactic centers

GASP. XLV. Stellar Bars in Jellyfish Galaxies: Analysis of Ionized Gas and Stellar Populations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar bars have been found to substantially influence the properties of stellar populations in galaxies, affecting their ability to form stars. While this can be easily seen when studying galaxies in relatively isolated environments, such type of ...

Diffusion in barred-spiral galaxies
, 2010 We characterize the radial migration of stars in the disk plane by calculating the diffusion coefficient and the diffusion time-scale for a bulge-disk N-body self-consistent system with a marginally-stable Toomre-Q parameter. We find that diffusion is not constant in time, but follows the evolution of the bar, and becomes maximum near the corotation ...

Nobeyama CO Atlas of Nearby Spiral Galaxies: Distribution of Molecular Gas in Barred and Nonbarred Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2007 Abstract The data from a CO ($J$ = 1–0) mapping survey of 40 nearby spiral galaxies, performed with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope, are presented. The criteria of the sample selection were: (1) RC3 morphological type ranging from Sa to Scd, (2) distance of less than 25 Mpc, (3) inclination angle less than 79$^{\circ}$ (RC3), (4) flux at 100$
