We present the first estimate of the observed fraction and properties of bars out to $ z\sim4$ using $\textit{JWST}$ CEERS NIRCam images. We analyze 1770 galaxies with $M_\star > 10^{10} M_\odot$ at $0.5 \leq z \leq 4$ and identify barred…

Observations of highly rotationally supported gas discs in high redshift ($z$ > 3) star-forming galaxies challenge our understanding of galaxy formation, as the prevailing view holds that galaxies in the early universe are dynamically hot…

We investigate the disk formation process in the TNG50 simulation, examining the profiles of SFR surface density ($\Sigma_{\rm SFR}$), gas inflow and outflow, and the evolution of the angular momentum of inflowing gas particles. The TNG50…

We investigate possible environmental and morphological trends in the $z\sim0$ bar fraction using two carefully selected samples representative of a low-density environment (the isolated galaxies from the AMIGA sample) and of a dense…

The IllustrisTNG simulation suite, particularly TNG50, was reported to have generated a notable population of elongated, bar-like structures within galaxies classified as Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs). In this work, we revisit the nature of…

Barred galaxies are known to possess magnetic fields that may affect the properties of bar substructures such as dust lanes and nuclear rings. We use two-dimensional high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to investigate the…

We study the effect of baryons on the abundance of structures and substructures in a Lambda-CDM cosmology, using a pair of high resolution cosmological simulations from the GIMIC project. Both simulations use identical initial conditions,…

We present a study of the environment of barred galaxies using galaxies drawn from the SDSS. We use several different statistics to quantify the environment: the projected two-point cross-correlation function, the background-subtracted…

Stellar bars in disk galaxies grow as stars in near circular orbits lose angular momentum to their environments, including their Dark Matter (DM) halo, and transform into elongated bar orbits. This angular momentum exchange during galaxy…

Galactic bars drive the internal evolution of spiral galaxies, while their formation is tightly coupled to the properties of their host galaxy and dark matter halo. To explore what drives bar formation in the cosmological context and how…

In a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, galaxy formation is a globally inefficient process: it is often the case that far fewer baryons are observed in galaxy disks than expected from the cosmic baryon fraction. The location of these "missing baryons"…

The catalog of ringed galaxies was compiled through visual classification of synthetic images from the TNG50 simulation. Galaxies were selected based on specific criteria: a redshift range of $0.01 < z < 0.1$, stellar mass $M_\star >10^9…

`Conspiracy' between the dark and the baryonic mater prohibits an unambiguous decomposition of disc galaxy rotation curves into the corresponding components. Several methods have been proposed to counter this difficulty, but their results…
