Internal Secular Evolution in Disk Galaxies: The Growth of Pseudobulges
, 2007 Observational and theoretical evidence that internal, slow ("secular") evolution reshapes galaxy disks is reviewed in Kormendy & Kennicutt (2004, ARAA, 42, 603). This update has three aims.

Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

On the Significance of the Thick Disks of Disk Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThick disks are a prevalent feature observed in numerous disk galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Their significance has been reported to vary widely, ranging from a few percent to 100% of the disk mass, depending on the galaxy and the measurement ...

Mapping the inner regions of the polar disk galaxy NGC4650A with MUSE [PDF]
, 2015 [abridged] The polar disk galaxy NGC4650A was observed during the commissioning of the MUSE at the ESO VLT to obtain the first 2D map of the velocity and velocity dispersion for both stars and gas.

Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Disk Galaxies Are Self-similar: The Universality of the H i-to-Halo Mass Ratio for Isolated Disks
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Observed scaling relations in galaxies between baryons and dark matter global properties are key to shed light on the process of galaxy formation and on the nature of dark matter.

SPH Simulations of Counterrotating Disk Formation in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
, 1998 We present the results of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the formation of a massive counterrotating disk in a spiral galaxy. The current study revisits and extends (with SPH) previous work carried out with sticky particle gas ...

Nuclear Stellar Disks in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We report evidence for nuclear stellar disks in 3 early-type spirals, namely NGC 1425, NGC 3898 and NGC 4698, revealed by WFPC2/F606W images out of a sample of 38 spiral galaxies, selected from the Hubble Space Telescope Data Archive. Adopting the photometric method introduced by Scorza & Bender we derived their central surface brightness and ...

Hidden No More: Spotlight on Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered in previously quiescent galaxies. However, earlier studies have revealed a handful of TDEs occurring in pre‐existing active galactic nuclei (AGN). We discuss AT2019aalc, a promising TDE candidate in an AGN, and compare it to similar sources.

The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate how differences in the stellar feedback produce disks with different morphologies in Milky Way–like progenitors over 1 ≤ z ≤ 5, using eight state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamics simulation codes in the AGORA project.
