Effects of the Central Mass Concentration on Bar Formation in Disk Galaxies

While bars are common in disk galaxies, their formation conditions are not well understood. We use N -body simulations to study the formation and evolution of a bar in isolated galaxies consisting of a stellar disk, a classical bulge, and a dark halo. We consider 24 galaxy models that are similar to...
