We analyze bars formed in N -body simulations to investigate two key aspects of stellar kinematic structure of barred galaxies: the angular distributions of the radial and azimuthal components of stellar velocities, and the impact of bars on rotation ...

Secular Evolution and the Formation of Pseudobulges in Disk Galaxies
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

BVRI Surface Photometry of (S+S) Binary Galaxies. I. The data [PDF]
We present multicolour broad band ($BVRI$) photometry for a sample of 33 spiral-spiral (S+S) binary galaxies drawn from the Karachentsev Catalogue of Isolated Pairs of Galaxies (KPG).

Enhanced Radiation at Aviation Altitudes and Plasmaspheric Hiss Waves—A Time Shift Analysis
Abstract Increased radiation levels in Earth's atmosphere can present significant risks to airline pilots, passengers, and commercial space travelers. Recent findings have revealed a strong statistical link between radiation dose rates detected at aviation altitudes (>9 ${ >} 9$km) and plasmaspheric hiss wave power observed along the same magnetic ...

Galactic bars can form via the internal bar instability or external tidal perturbations by other galaxies. We systematically compare the properties of the bars formed through the two mechanisms with a series of controlled N -body simulations that form ...

Gas and Stellar Motions and Observational Signatures of Co-Rotating Spiral Arms [PDF]
We have observed a snapshot of our N-body/Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulation of a Milky Way-sized barred spiral galaxy in a similar way to how we can observe the Milky Way. The simulated galaxy shows a co-rotating spiral arm, i.e.

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids
ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.

Ring Star Formation Rates in Barred and Nonbarred Galaxies
Nonbarred ringed galaxies are relatively normal galaxies showing bright rings of star formation in spite of lacking a strong bar. This morphology is interesting because it is generally accepted that a typical ring forms when material collects near a ...

SUMMARY DNA repair is crucial for genome stability, in particular for plants which are exposed to high levels of damage arising from UV irradiation, soil pollutants and reactive oxygen species. Damage that affects both strands of the DNA duplex is harder to repair due to both the lack of a template strand and the potential for physical separation of ...
