@article{Kataria2018ASO, title={A study of the effect of bulges on bar formation in disc galaxies}, author={Sandeep Kumar Kataria and Mousumi Das}, journal={Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, year={2018}, volume={475}, pages={1653-1664} }
We use N-body simulations of bar formation in isolated galaxies to study the effect of bulge mass and bulge concentration on bar formation. Bars are global disc instabilities that evolve by transferring angular momentum from the inner to outer discs and to the dark matter halo. It is well known that a massive spherical component such as halo in a disc galaxy can make it bar stable. In this study, we explore the effect of another spherical component, the bulge, on bar formation in disc galaxies…

Galaxy flybys are as common as mergers in low redshift universe and are important for galaxy evolution as they involve the exchange of significant amounts of mass and energy. In this study we…
Modeling of Spiral Structure in a Multi-Component Milky~Way-Like Galaxy

The maximum value in the rotation curve of the disk of the Milky Way galaxy, as found in its central regions, is explained by non-circular motion due to the presence of a bar and its orientation relative to an observer.
Can bars erode cuspy halos?
