We find that diffusion is not constant in time, but follows the evolution of the bar, and becomes maximum near the corotation region and in the external disk region, where asymmetric patterns develop.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-12-03T17:34:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "barred-spiral galaxies", "bulge-disk n-body self-consistent system", "external disk region", "asymmetric patterns", "radial migration" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Astronomical and Astrophysical Transactions", "year": 2012, "volume": 27, "number": 2, "pages": 197 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 879529, "adsabs": "2012A&AT...27..197B" } } }
