Dynamical Processes in the Central Kpc and Active Galactic Nuclei
We discuss different aspects of nested bar dynamics and its effect on the gas flow and fueling of Active Galactic Nuclei. Specifically we focus on the dynamical decoupling between the primary and secondary bars and the gas flow across the bar-bar interface. We analyze the nuclear gaseous bar formation when gas gravity can be neglected or when it dominates. Finally, we discuss the possible effec...
متن کاملThe Damping and Excitation of Galactic Warps by Dynamical Friction
We investigate the dynamical interaction of galactic warps with the surrounding dark matter halo, using analytic perturbation theory. A precessing warp induces a density wake in the collisionless dark matter, which acts back on the original warp, transferring energy and angular momentum between the warp and halo (dynamical friction). In most cases dynamical friction damps the warp, but in unusu...
متن کاملDynamical Friction on Star Clusters near the Galactic Center
Numerical simulations of the dynamical friction suffered by a star cluster near the Galactic center have been performed with a parallelized tree code. Gerhard (2001) has suggested that dynamical friction, which causes a cluster to lose orbital energy and spiral in towards the galactic center, may explain the presence of a cluster of very young stars in the central parsec, where star formation m...
متن کاملAnalytical Dynamical Models for Double-Power-Law Galactic Nuclei
Motivated by the finding that the observed surface brightness profile of many galactic nuclei are well fit by double-power-laws, we explore a range of spherical self-consistent dynamical models with this light profile. We find that the corresponding deprojected volume density profile, phase space density and line-of-sight velocity distribution of these models are well fit by simple analytic app...
متن کاملholes in galactic nuclei
The concept of an advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF), with or without wind loss, was used to describe the spectra of the galactic center source SgrA * , low-luminosity AGN and nuclei of elliptical galaxies (including M87). The spectral fits of various authors show that the transition from the geometrically thin disk to the hot flow occurs at quite different distances, apparently not uniq...
