Bar Instability and Formation Timescale across Toomre’s Q Parameter and Central Mass Concentration: Slow Bar Formation or True Stability

We investigate the bar formation process using N -body simulations across the Toomre’s parameter Q ${}_{{\rm{\min }}}$ and central mass concentration (CMC), focusing principally on the formation timescale. Of importance is that, as suggested by cosmological simulations, disk galaxies have a limited...
