Did the gaia enceladus/sausage merger form the milky way’s bar?

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors use a pre-existing zoom-in cosmological simulation to investigate this link as the focus of this paper, including rerunning the simulation with the GES analogue removed to examine its evolution without the influence of its last significant merger. Despite no agreement, evidence is mounting for an older bar, and it is this earlier formation scenario that the authors examine the mechanisms of in this study. The authors focus on the Auriga 18 (Au-18) simulation, as this galaxy has previously been found to be a close Milky Way analogue. For the purposes of . . .
