The Formation of Spiral Arms and Rings in Barred Galaxies
We propose a theory to explain the formation of both spirals and rings in barred galaxies using a common dynamical framework. It is based on the orbital motion driven by the unstable equilibrium points of the rotating bar potential. Thus, spirals, rings and pseudo-rings are related to the invariant manifolds associated to the periodic orbits around these equilibrium points. We examine the param...
متن کاملThe Connection Between Barstrength and Circumnuclear Dust Structure
We present a comparison of barstrength Qb and circumnuclear dust morphology for 75 galaxies in order to investigate how bars affect the centers of galaxies. We trace the circumnuclear dust morphology and amount of dust structure with structure maps generated from visible-wavelength HST data, finding that tightly wound nuclear dust spirals are primarily found in weakly barred galaxies. While str...
متن کاملEnhanced Star Formation - the Importance of Bars in Spiral Galaxies
We have found that amongst an IR-luminous subset of nearby spiral galaxies, nearly all of the systems with IRAS colours and luminosities indicative of enhanced star formation are barred. Radio continuum and IR-spectroscopic results support the hypothesis that this emission originates within the central 2kpc; possibly in a circumnuclear ring. We also find that outer rings are over-represented am...
متن کاملDawes Review 4: Spiral Structures in Disc Galaxies
The majority of astrophysics involves the study of spiral galaxies, and stars and planets within them, but how spiral arms in galaxies form and evolve is still a fundamental problem. Major progress in this field was made primarily in the 1960s, and early 1970s, but since then there has been no comprehensive update on the state of the field. In this review, we discuss the progress in theory, and...
متن کاملDensity Waves Inside Inner Lindblad Resonance: Nuclear Spirals in Disk Galaxies
We analyze formation of grand-design two-arm spiral structure in the nuclear regions of disk galaxies. Such morphology has been recently detected in a number of objects using high-resolution near-infrared observations. Motivated by the observed (1) continuity between the nuclear and kpc-scale spiral structures, and by (2) low arm-interarm contrast, we apply the density wave theory to explain th...
