Dynamical Models for Disk Galaxies with Triaxial Halos
We construct self-consistent dynamical models for disk galaxies with triaxial, cuspy halos. We begin with an equilibrium, axisymmetric, disk-bulge-halo system and apply an artificial acceleration to the halo particles. By design, this acceleration conserves energy and thereby preserving the system’s differential energy distribution even as its phase space distribution function is altered. The h...
متن کاملGalactic Warps in Triaxial Halos
We study the behaviors of galactic disks in triaxial halos both numerically and analytically to see if warps can be excited and sustained in triaxial potentials. We consider the following two scenarios: 1) galactic disks that are initially tilted relative to the equatorial plane of the halo (for a pedagogical purpose), and 2) tilted infall of dark matter relative to the equatorial plane of the ...
متن کاملThe Orbital Evolution Induced by Baryonic Condensation in Triaxial Halos
Using spectral methods, we analyse the orbital structure of dark matter (DM) in N -body simulations in an effort to understand the physical processes that drive the evolution of dark matter halo shapes caused by growing central masses. A longstanding issue is whether the change in the shapes of DM halos is the result of chaotic scattering of the major family of box orbits that serves as the bac...
متن کاملThe Influence of Triaxial Halos on Collisionless Galactic Disks
We investigate the effect of rotating, triaxial halos on disk galaxies through an extensive set of numerical N -body simulations. Our simulations use a rigid potential field for the halos and bulges and collisionless particles for the disks. The triaxiality and the rotation rate of the halo are varied, as well as the masses of all three galaxy components. We analyze both the bar stability and t...
متن کاملWarps and Bars from the External Tidal Torques of Tumbling Dark Halos
The dark matter halos in ΛCDM cosmological simulations are triaxial and highly flattened. In many cases, these triaxial equilibria are also tumbling slowly, typically about their short axes, with periods of order a Hubble time. Halos may therefore exert a slowly changing external torque on spiral galaxies that can affect their dynamical evolution in interesting ways. We examine the effect of th...
