Comparison of Bar Formation Mechanisms. II. Does a Tidally Induced Bar Grow Faster than an Internally Developed Bar?

Bar structures can form internally due to the instability of their host galaxies or externally due to perturbations from other galaxies. We systematically quantify the growth timescales ( τ _bar ) of bars formed through these two mechanisms with a series of controlled N -body simulations. In galaxie...
