Stellar Orbits in Doubly-Barred Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
The question of bars within bars has been reviewed by Friedli and Martinet (1993), who have also performed N-body simulations to produce nested bars. They propose that if a system of embedded bars is effective in transporting gas to the galactic center (Shlosman et al. 1989), then it is perhaps a step in the secular evolution of barred galaxies. In order to pursue this interesting proposition, and also because observational evidence for the existence of secondary bars is mounting (e.g. Buta & Crocker 1993; Shaw et al. 1993, Wozniak et al. 1995), it is important to understand the stellar kinematics in such systems.
