Orbital Support and Evolution of CX/OX Structures in Boxy/Peanut Bars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Barred galaxies exhibit boxy/peanut or X-shapes (BP/X) protruding from their disks in edge-on views. Two types of BP/X morphologies exist depending on whether the X-wings meet at the center (CX) or are off-centered (OX).

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.

Ring Star Formation Rates in Barred and Nonbarred Galaxies

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...

Effects of Halo Spin on the Formation and Evolution of Bars in Disk Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The spin of dark halos has been shown to significantly affect bar formation and evolution in disk galaxies. To understand the physical role of halo spin in bar formation, we run N -body simulations of isolated, Milky Way–sized galaxies by varying the ...

Double-Barred Galaxies: I. A Catalog of Barred Galaxies with Stellar Secondary Bars and Inner Disks

open access: yes, 2003
I present a catalog of 67 barred galaxies which contain distinct, elliptical stellar structures inside their bars. Fifty of these are double-barred galaxies: a small-scale, "inner" or "secondary" bar is embedded within a large-scale, "outer" or "primary"

The Milky Way’s Rowdy Neighbors: The Effects of the Large Magellanic Cloud and Sagittarius Dwarf on the Milky Way Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Milky Way (MW) is a barred spiral galaxy shaped by tidal interactions with its satellites. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr) are the dominant influences at the present day. This paper presents a suite of four 10 ^

The kinematics and structure of the neutral hydrogen in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3359.

open access: yes, 1982
The barred spiral galaxy NGC 3359 has been observed with the three-element line interferometer of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. An angular resolution of 42'' x 31'' was achieved with a velocity resolution of 24.5 km/s.
