摘要
En 中文
N-body simulations provide most of our insight into the structure and evolution of galaxies, but our analyses of these are often heuristic and from simple statistics. We propose a method that discovers the dynamics in space and time together by finding the most correlated temporal signals in multiple time-series of basis-function expansion coefficients and any other data fields of interest. The method extracts the dominant trends in the spatial variation of the gravitational field along with any additional data fields through time. The mathematics of this method is known as multichannel singular spectrum analysis (M-SSA). In essence, M-SSA is a principal component analysis of the covariance of time-series replicates, each lagged successively by some interval. The dominant principal component (PC) represents the trend that contains the largest fraction of the correlated signal. The next PC is orthogonal to the first and contains the next largest fraction, and so on. Using a suite of previously analysed simulations, we find that M-SSA describes bar formation and evolution, including mode coupling and pattern-speed decay. We also analyse a new simulation tailored to study vertical oscillations of the bar using kinematic data. Additionally, and to our surprise, M-SSA uncovered some new dynamics in previously analysed simulations, underscoring the power of this new approach.
