Athanassoulas Email: lia@oamp.fr Phone number: +33 4 95 04 41 10 Adresse: Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille, 38 rue Frederic Joliot-Curie, 13388 Marseille Cedex 13, France PhD title: Formation of galactic bulges Subject description: Bulges are components of disc galaxies, located in their central part. They are present in the vast majority of disc galaxies and cover a spectrum of masses, sizes and even shapes. One can distinguish three types of bulges (cf. Athanassoula 2005, MNRAS 358, 1477): classical bulges, box/peanut bulges, and discy bulges, each with different properties and formation scenarios. Classical bulges are spheroidal in shape, and protrude out of the disc in its central part. They have been the object of a large number of observational studies, but little theoretical work is available. They are nevertheless believed to have formed by mergers which could have taken place either at relatively high redshift, before the disc was in place, or more recently. These mergers could be multiple and could involve a number of small galaxies. Boxy/peanut bulges have a characteristic shape of a box or of a peanut and their formation is linked to the evolution of bars. Simulations show that bars form vertically thin, but that their central parts thicken a few Gyrs after their formation. Their formation, evolution and dynamics have been well studied with the help of high quality simulations, but as yet there are no such studies which fully include chemical evolution, while having the necessary resolution to describe adequately the effect of the dark matter on the evolution. Such chemical information is crucial for constraining the formation history of the bar/bulge region of our Galaxy, which is the nearest boxy/peanut bulge. Indeed a number of spectroscopic surveys, complementary to the GAIA effort, are now providing information on metal abundances for tens of thousands of individual stars in that region, and with the ESO VVV survey this number will increase even further. It is high time that simulations that follow both the dynamic and the chemical evolution are performed with a quality that permits proper comparisons with the observations, in order to allow full interpretation of this wealth of observational data. Finally, discy bulges are inner discs with a radius of ~1 kpc. They are mainly composed of gas and relatively young stars, but they include a sizeable fraction of old stars. They are believed to be formed by the inflow of gas to the inner regions of the galaxy, pushed there by torques due to the bar, but which could also be due to other asymmetries or to interactions and mergings. For this type of bulges also, there are many more observational works than theoretical ones. Goals of the thesis The goals of this thesis are twofold. First, to establish the formation scenarios of the various types of galactic bulges, using very high resolution numerical simulations. Second, to make comparisons of the simulation results with various observational surveys of external galaxies and, in particular, of our own Galaxy. For this it will be necessary to use N-body simulations including the dark matter, the stars and the gas, all fully self-consistently and with a sufficient resolution for the angular momentum redistribution to be adequately described via resonant interactions. Such simulations use an N-body + hydrodynamic approach, and include also star formation, feedback and cooling. Our group has lately extended our simulation codes to also follow the chemical evolution, i.e. to follow the abundance of about 15 different chemical elements thus including full chemical tagging. This is made with the help of the chemical modules of our collaborator N. Prantzos, which have been included in our N-body + hydrodynamic code. They thus couple the dynamical to the chemical evolution and give information on the chemical content in very different dynamical contexts. This is essential for unraveling the formation history of our Galaxy. Planned timescale for the thesis In the first year the student will familiarise him(her)self with the relevant literature on bulges, on chemical and on dynamical evolution. (S)he will also learn the use of our simulation codes and of the necessary analysis tools and will also run simulations of isolated galaxies. A first analysis, particularly of the boxy/peanut and discy bulge results will be made. In the second year the student will extend his/her work to make and analyse simulations of interacting galaxies, focusing on the bulges that can thus form. The analysis tools, but also the simulations themselves are fairly similar to those of isolated galaxies, so not many new techniques will need to be assimilated. This will allow the student to devote a considerable part of his/her time to in depth comparisons of the chemical abundance distribution in the bar/bulge region of the simulated galaxies with the corresponding observations in our Galaxy. This part of the work will be done in collaboration with N. Prantzos (IAP, France) and with the ARGOS team (Australia), which will make available to us the full results of their spectroscopic survey of 28 000 stars in the bar/bulge region of the Milky Way. This work will partly spill over into the third year. In the third year the student will use cosmological zoom simulations to extend the work on the classical bulge formation, and spend the necessary time writing up the results for publication.
