Secular Turkey's evolution battle
Turkish biologists have much to be worried about: the drift to Islamism is creeping ahead in the perception of many academics so the enthusiastic welcome for an American evolutionary biologist earlier this year provided a welcome fillip for university staff. Turkey represents a unique state: formed from the remnants of the centuries-old Ottoman empire in 1923, it was headed by Mustafa Kemal Ata...
متن کاملSecular Evolution of Disks
It is found that a previously thought-to-be well established result of density wave theory, that there is no interaction between a quasistationary spiral density wave and the basic state (i.e. the axisymmetric part) of the galactic disk, is in fact false. When solved as a nonlinear and globally self-consistent problem, the presence of non-axisymmetric patterns such as spirals or bars is shown t...
متن کاملSecular evolution in galaxies
New observations in favour of a significant role of secular evolution are reviewed: central star formation boosted in pseudo-bulge barred galaxies, relations between bulge and disk, evidence for rejuvenated bulges. Numerical simulations have shown that secular evolution can occur through a cycle of bar formation and destruction, in which the gas plays a major role. Since bars are weakened or de...
متن کاملSecular Evolution in Barred Galaxies
A strong bar rotating within a massive halo should lose angular momentum to the halo through dynamical friction, as predicted by Weinberg. We have conducted fully self-consistent, numerical simulations of barred galaxy models with a live halo population and find that bars are indeed braked very rapidly. Specifically, we find that the bar slows sufficiently within a few rotation periods that the...
متن کاملSecular Evolution of Spiral Galaxies
It is now a well established fact that galaxies undergo significant morphological transformation during their lifetimes, manifesting as an evolution along the Hubble sequence from the late to the early Hubble types. The physical processes commonly believed to be responsible for this observed evolution trend, i.e. the major and minor mergers, as well as gas accretion under a barred potential, th...
