Modeling disc non-axisymmetries: Multiple patterns, radial migration, and thick disks

Disc non-axisymmetric components, such as spirals and central bars, are nowadays known to play an important role in shaping galactic discs. Here we use Tree-SPH N-body simulations to examine the effect of these perturbers on two aspects: the occurrence of multiple patterns in discs and the effects o...
