Barred galaxies in the simulated and in the real Universe.
Abstract: I will first review our current theoretical understanding of
how bar structures form and evolve within disc galaxies, focusing
particularly on results based on the analysis of the hydrodynamical
cosmological simulations IllustrisTNG.
I will then discuss the potential of the J-PAS photometric survey to
study the evolution of bars and the properties of the host galaxies.
J-PAS is a survey featuring 54 narrow bands covering the full optical
range, effectively delivering a low-resolution spectrum for every pixel
observed. Its filter system, combined with its large field of view,
makes J-PAS an ideal survey to study galaxy properties and
morphological features in a wide variety of environments.
