A New Fueling Process in a Weak Bar
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A massive gaseous disk in the central region of a galaxy sensitively responds to a weakly distorted potential, and a large amount of gas can be fed into within 1/20 of the core radius of the potential in several 107 yr. The ILRs, the dissipative nature of the gas, and the self-gravity of the gas are essential for triggering this effective fueling. We also found that a counterrotating gaseous core can be formed as a result of the fueling. Our result suggests that the merger of galaxies is not the only way to form the observed counterrotating core in galaxies.
