Understanding the large-scale dynamics of the interstellar medium in barred galaxies

Abstract:

We study the large-scale dynamics of the interstellar medium in barred galaxies. The interest in doing this is two-fold. On the one hand, the hydrodynamic flow is the source of many interesting physical phenomena, such as shocks and spiral arms. On the other hand, it is a powerful tool to constrain the characteristics of individual galaxies.

Approximately half of this thesis is devoted to understanding the general characteristics of the gas dynamics. There are two key ingredients. T...
