Topic: Milky Way Bar


  
  SPACE.com -- The New Tourist's Guide to the Milky Way
Were an intergalactic traveler to approach the Milky Way edge-on, the first thing she would notice is a luminous halo made up of gas and stars enveloping the galaxy.
According to one hypothesis, the strange warp in the Milky Way's hydrogen disk is caused by the movement of two dwarf galaxies-the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds- and their interactions with dark matter as they orbit our galaxy.
The Milky Way is believed to contain four major spiral arms, all of which start at the galaxy's center, plus a number of smaller arms.

 SPACE.com -- Milky Way's Central Structure Seen with Fresh Clarity
The bar is embedded in the center of the galaxy's spiral arms and cuts across the heart of it all where a supermassive fl hole resides.
The milky swath of stars visible under a dark, rural, summertime sky represents a fraction of the millions upon millions of stars that crowd the center of the galaxy.
Churchwell's team also found that the bar is oriented at about a 45-degree angle relative to the main plane of the galaxy, in which the Sun and the other spiral-arm stars orbit.

 New bar in the Milky Way
The presence of this bar is suggested by Doppler velocities of the central gas since about thirty years, and was confirmed by the infra-red images of the COBE satellite in the Nineties.
Indeed, the bar is tilted with respect to the line of sight, and the side coming towards us (on the right), since it is nearer appears larger than the more distant side (on the left).
Thus is highlighted a new component: a small bar close to the center of the principal bar.

 Milky Way - Candy you ate as a kid®
In 1926, the Milky Way bar was introduced nationally in two flavors, chocolate and vanilla, each for a nickel.
In 1932, the Milky Way bar was sold as a two piece bar, but just four years later, in 1936, the chocolate and vanilla flavors forever parted.
The vanilla Milky Way bar, which was covered in dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate, was renamed the Forever Yours bar.

According to a massive new survey of stars at the heart of the galaxy by Wisconsin astronomers the Milky Way has a definitive bar feature, some 27,000 light years in length, that distinguishes it from pedestrian spiral galaxies, as shown in this artist's rendering.
The possibility that the Milky Way Galaxy has a long stellar bar through its center has long been considered by astronomers, and such phenomena are not unheard of in galactic taxonomy.
It also shows that the bar is oriented at about a 45-degree angle relative to a line joining the sun and the center of the galaxy.

 The Milky Way Galaxy
As a galaxy, the Milky Way is actually a giant, as its mass is probably between 750 billion and one trillion solar masses, and its diameter is about 100,000 light years.
Radio astronomial investigations of the distribution of hydrogen clouds have revealed that the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy of Hubble type Sb or Sc.
The Milky Way Galaxy belongs to the Local Group, a smaller group of 3 large and over 30 small galaxies, and is the second largest (after the Andromeda Galaxy M31) but perhaps the most massive member of this group.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: 3 Musketeers
candy bar: The confection has no obvious connection to the literary creations of Alexander Dumas (especially now that representations of the Three Musketeers characters are no longer typically featured on the bars' wrappers), nor does its name seem to be reflective of any quality of the candy itself.
to explain it all: The bars are both misnamed because their wrappers were inadvertently switched when they were first introduced, and by the time the mistake was discovered it was already too late for their manufacturer to feasibly switch them back.
bar is so named has to do with the fact that it was once a considerably different type of confection.

 Milky Way's Bar A Galactic Star - CBS News
Some scientists have suspected the presence of the stellar bar, but the survey led by two Wisconsin astronomers shows the bar is far longer than previously believed and at a specific angle.
The skinny bar is made up of old and red stars that is about 27,000 light years in length, about 7,000 light years longer than previously believed.
The bar is at a 45 degree angle to the line between our Sun and the center of the galaxy and may put the Milky Way in a small class of galaxies with the unusual shape, researchers say.

 Astronomy for the Starry-Eyed
This magnificent luminescent swirl is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672 as photographed face-on by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The creation of the bar is generally thought to be the result of a density wave radiating from the center of the galaxy whose effects reshape the orbits of the inner stars.
It is thought that as the mass of the bar accumulates, it affects the stability of the bars and they eventually disappear.

Melting chocolate was not a trivial issue for a soldier who might have to put down his candy bar and pick up a gun.
Frank Mars began making candy in his kitchen in Tacoma, Washington, in 1911; in 1923 he developed the Milky Way bar, which quickly became a nationally known brand in an era when national brands were in many areas edging out locally made products.
Further seeking to extend their market, they came up with MandMs as a way of dealing with the falloff in candy sales over the summer, when consumers stopped buying chocolate and stores stopped stocking chocolate because, in an era before widespread air-conditioning, it had a tendency to turn into a gooey mess.

 Galactic survey reveals a new look for the Milky Way
With the help of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have conducted the most comprehensive structural analysis of our galaxy and have found tantalizing new evidence that the Milky Way is much different from your ordinary spiral galaxy.
"This is the best evidence ever for this long central bar in our galaxy," says Ed Churchwell, a UW-Madison professor of astronomy and a senior author of a paper describing the new work in an upcoming edition of Astrophysical Journal Letters, a leading astronomy journal.
It shows a bar, consisting of relatively old and red stars, spanning the center of the galaxy roughly 27,000 light years in length - 7,000 light years longer than previously believed.

Artist's Concept of the Milky Way, according to new studies by University of Wisconsin astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope of NASA.
From their massive survey of stars near the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy, these astronomers found evidence that the Milky Way probably has a definitive, large bar feature measuring about 27,000 light-years in length, making it look as shown in above illustration, where the position of our solar system is indicated.
These results give evidence that the Milky Way Galaxy is probably to be classified as a barred spiral galaxy of type SBb to SBc, or SB(rs)bc.

 Astronomy - Astronomers GLIMPSE Milky Way bar - Francis Reddy
Benjamin's team says the clear asymmetry between the strips is caused by a bar-like structure at the Milky Way's center.
The astronomers say the bar extends from the galaxy's center as two 14,000-light-year-long arms and is angled about 45° to a line connecting the Sun and the center of the Milky Way — about twice the tilt determined from previous studies.
The astronomers noticed a discrepancy in the density of infrared sources — it was higher on one side of the Milky Way's center than on the other.

This illustration shows the Milky Way's prominent spiral arms, the central galactic bulge, and the location of the Sun.
At extreme distances, the parallax is very small; an object a quarter of the way across the galaxy has a parallax of just 0.5 milli-arcsecond.
This data will refine astronomers' knowledge of the Milky Way's structure, which is difficult to determine given our location within the galaxy itself.
