Sph Gas Response to Barred Perturbations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of a series of SPH simulations, in which we follow the response of a gaseous disk to an imposed barred potential. The shock morphology depends on the assumed potential. Their longevity and their thinness, however, depend on features of the interstellar medium, such as the sound speed and the viscosity. Our calculations underline the importance of gas recycling.

3D Distribution of Molecular Gas in the Barred Milky Way
We present a new model of the three-dimensional distribution of molecular gas in the Milky Way Galaxy, based on CO line data. Our analysis is based on a gas-flow simulation of the inner Galaxy using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) using a realistic barred gravitional potential derived from the observed COBE/DIRBE near-IR light distribution. The gas model prescribes the gas orbits much bet...
متن کاملYoung Populations in the Nuclei of Barred Galaxies
We have conducted a UBV RI and Hα CCD photometry of 5 barred galaxies, NGC2523, NGC2950, NGC3412, NGC3945 and NGC5383, along with SPH simulations, in order to understand the origin of young stellar populations in the nuclei of barred galaxies. The Hα emissions which are thought to be emitted by young stellar populations are either absent or strongly concentrated on the nuclei of early type gala...
متن کاملSPH simulations of gas flow in barred galaxies. Effect of hydrodynamical and numerical parameters
We use SPH to calculate the gas response in a potential representing a strongly barred galaxy. We examine the dependence of the morphology and of the inflow rate of this response on hydrodynamical and numerical parameters used in the simulations. In particular we study the effects of the sound speed, the rate of growth of the bar and the number of particles used in our models. We also investiga...
متن کاملTwo modes of gas flow in a single barred galaxy
We investigate stationary gas flows in a fixed, rotating barred potential. The gas is assumed to be isothermal with an effective sound speed cs, and the equations of motion are solved with smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Since the thermal energy in cloud random motions is negligible compared to the orbital kinetic energy, no dependence of the flow on cs is expected. However, this is not ...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of interacting gas - rich barred galaxies . Vertical impact of small companions
We investigate the dynamical effects of an interaction between an initially barred galaxy and a small spherical companion using an N-body/SPH algorithm. In the models described here the small companion passes through the disc of the larger galaxy near-perpendicular to its plane. The impact positions and times are varied with respect to the phase of the bar and the dynamical evolution of the dis...
