Chaos or Order in Double Barred Galaxies?
Bars in galaxies are mainly supported by particles trapped around closed periodic orbits. These orbits respond to the bar’s forcing frequency only and lack free oscillations. We show that a similar situation takes place in double bars: particles get trapped around orbits which only respond to the forcing from the two bars and lack free oscillations. We find that writing the successive positions...

Theoretical studies suggest that large-scale stellar bars can be highly effective in delivering gas to the central few hundred parsecs of a spiral galaxy, which may then initiate rapid star formation. Further instabilities may lead to additional inflow to physical scales relevant for active galactic nuclei. We test these predictions in light of recent observations. Compared to unbarred spirals,...
متن کاملObservations of Barred Galaxies
We review general observational properties of bars in galaxies, and relations between bars, their dynamics, and (circum)nuclear activity. We consider new measurements of bar fractions and of the distribution of bars with host type, bar strength, and bar pattern speeds. Bars redistribute material radially, leading to flattened abundance gradients and a diminished degree of disk-wide two-fold sym...
متن کاملDynamics of Barred Galaxies
Some 30% of disc galaxies have a pronounced central bar feature in the disc plane and many more have weaker features of a similar kind. Kinematic data indicate that the bar constitutes a major non-axisymmetric component of the mass distribution and that the bar pattern tumbles rapidly about the axis normal to the disc plane. The observed motions are consistent with material within the bar strea...
متن کاملDouble-Barred Galaxies
I present a brief review of what is known about double-barred galaxies, where a small (“inner”) bar is nested inside a larger (“outer”) bar; the review is focused primarily on their demographics and photometric properties. Roughly 20% of S0–Sb galaxies are doublebarred; they may be rarer in later Hubble types. Inner bars are typically ∼500 pc in radius (∼12% the size of outer bars), but sizes r...
