We present SAURON integral-field stellar velocity and velocity dispersion maps for four double-barred early-type galaxies: NGC 2859, NGC 3941, NGC 4725, and NGC 5850. The presence of the inner bar does not produce major changes in the line-of-sight velocity, but it appears to have an important effect in the stellar velocity dispersion maps: we find two σ-hollows of amplitudes between 10 and 40 km s−1 on either side of the center, at the ends of the inner bars. We have performed numerical…

KINEMATIC PROPERTIES OF DOUBLE-BARRED GALAXIES: SIMULATIONS VERSUS INTEGRAL-FIELD OBSERVATIONS
• Physics
• 2016
Using high resolution N -body simulations, we recently reported that a dynamically cool inner disk embedded in a hotter outer disk can naturally generate a steady double-barred (S2B) structure. Here
Distinct stellar populations in the inner bars of double-barred galaxies
• Physics
• 2013
Numerical simulations of double-barred galaxies predict the build-up of different structural components (e.g. bulges, inner discs) in the central regions of disc galaxies. In those simulations, inner
Orthogonal Vertical Velocity Dispersion Distributions Produced by Bars
• Physics
• 2016
In barred galaxies, the contours of stellar velocity dispersions (σ) are generally expected to be oval and aligned with the orientation of bars. However, many double-barred (S2B) galaxies exhibit
Constraining the formation of inner bars: photometry, kinematics and stellar populations in NGC 357†
• Physics
• 2011
Double-barred galaxies are common in the local Universe, with approximately one-third of barred spirals hosting a smaller, inner bar. Nested bars have been proposed as a mechanism to transport gas to
Evidence of a Distinct Stellar Population in the Counterrotating Core of NGC 1700

Double bars are thought to be important features for secular evolution in the central regions of galaxies. However, observational evidence about their origin and evolution is still scarce. We report

The formation of two stellar bars within a galaxy has proved challenging for numerical studies. It is not yet clear whether the inner bar is born via a star formation process promoted by gas inflow
Forming Double-Barred Galaxies from Dynamically Cool Inner Disks

About one-third of early-type barred galaxies host small-scale secondary bars. The formation and evolution of such double-barred (S2B) galaxies remain far from being well understood. In order to

Here we present the preliminary results of the analysis of VIMOS observations of the central 4.5 kpc of the double-barred galaxy NGC 5850. We use optical diagnostic diagrams to study the main

(Abridged) The role of low ionization nuclear emission region (LINER) galaxies within the picture of active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been controversial. It is still not clear whether they host an
