The role of bars in disk galaxy evolution

Galactic bars play in an important role in the evolution of disk galaxies. Bars also act as a tracer for dynamically cool, `mature' disk galaxies. Therefore, the observational study of bars, especially at higher redshifts, provides an invaluable insight into how the disk galaxy population has e...
