Dynamically Driven Evolution of Molecular Gas in the Barred Spiral Galaxy M83 Traced by CO J = 2–1/1–0 Line Ratio Variations

The Astrophysical Journal
We show the variations of the CO J = 2–1/1–0 line ratio ( R _21/10 ) across the barred spiral galaxy M83, using the 46 pc resolution data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The R _21/10 map clearly evidences the systematic large-scale

Formation of Major Types of Galaxies Based on the Energy Circulation Theory

Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2022
The standard cosmology can answer almost nothing about how the structure of a galaxy is formed. It expects a supermassive black hole at the center and dark matter in the halo to explain the circulation of stars and its velocity.

First Look at z > 1 Bars in the Rest-frame Near-infrared with JWST Early CEERS Imaging

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Stellar bars are key drivers of secular evolution in galaxies and can be effectively studied using rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) images, which trace the underlying stellar mass and are less impacted by dust and star formation than rest-frame UV or ...

Exploring the Magnetic Field Geometry in NGC 891 with SOFIA/HAWC+

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy/High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-plus 154 μ m Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of the well-studied edge-on galaxy NGC 891 are analyzed and compared to simple disk models with ordered (planar ...

J0107a: A Barred Spiral Dusty Star-forming Galaxy at z = 2.467

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) are among the most massive and active star-forming galaxies during the cosmic noon. Theoretical studies have proposed various formation mechanisms of DSFGs, including major merger-driven starbursts and secular star ...

Effects of the Central Mass Concentration on Bar Formation in Disk Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
While bars are common in disk galaxies, their formation conditions are not well understood. We use N -body simulations to study the formation and evolution of a bar in isolated galaxies consisting of a stellar disk, a classical bulge, and a dark halo. We

Early-growing Supermassive Black Holes Strengthen Bars and Boxy/Peanut Bulges

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using N -body simulations, we explore the effects of growing a supermassive black hole (SMBH) prior to or during the formation of a stellar bar. Keeping the final mass and growth rate of the SMBH fixed, we show that if it is introduced before or while ...

PHANGS–JWST First Results: Massive Young Star Clusters and New Insights from JWST Observations of NGC 1365

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
A primary new capability of JWST is the ability to penetrate the dust in star-forming galaxies to identify and study the properties of young star clusters that remain embedded in dust and gas. In this Letter we combine new infrared images taken with JWST

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 ...
