Bar-Induced Shocks and the Nature of Regions of Violent Star Formation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Gas dynamics induced by bars involves large-scale shocks. The shock fronts may be curved, especially near the bar edges. Evolution of the curved shocks can lead to effective compression of the interstellar gas which produces favorable conditions for violent star formation in the vicinity of bars.
