Royer (eds)", "categories": [ "astro-ph.GA" ], "abstract": "The internal evolution of disk galaxies like the Milky Way are driven by non-axisymmetries (bars) and the implied angular momentum transfer of the matter; baryons are essentially driven inwards to build a more concentrated disk. This mass concentration may lead to the decoupling of a secondary bar, since the orbit precessing frequency is then much enhanced. Vertical resonances with the bar will form a box/peanut bulge in a Gyr time-scale. Gas flows due to gravity torques can lead to a young nuclear disk forming stars, revealed by a sigma-drop in velocity dispersion. These gas flows moderated by feedback produce intermittent accretion of the super-massive black hole, and cycles of AGN activity. The fountain effect due to nuclear star formation may lead to inclined, and even polar nuclear disks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-07-27T07:39:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "milky way-type galaxies", "secular evolution", "gas flows", "feedback produce intermittent accretion", "young nuclear disk forming stars" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
