Revealing the cosmic evolution of boxy/peanut-shaped bulges from HST COSMOS and SDSS
Vertically thickened bars, observed in the form of boxy/peanut (B/P) bulges, are found in the majority of massive barred disc galaxies in the local Universe, including our own. B/P bulges indicate that their host bars have suffered violent bending instabilities driven by anisotropic velocity distrib...
