Bar-Halo Interaction and Bar Growth
Open accessAbstract
I show that strong bars can grow in galactic disks, even when the latter are immersed in halos whose mass within the disk radius is comparable to, or larger than, the mass of the disk. I argue that this is due to the response of the halo and in particular to the destabilizing influence of the halo resonant stars. Via this instability mechanism, the halo can stimulate, rather than restrain, the growth of the bar.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
