Top: Growth of the regions where stars form in the galactic disk over time, separated by bar strength at redshift 0. Weaker-barred galaxies start with stars forming on less than 3 kpc in the center of the disk, and then grow until stars are forming almost throughout the entirety of the disk. Stronger-barred galaxies show only minimal growth in their radial range of star-forming region (RRSF) Middle: Upper radial limit of where stars are forming throughout the galaxy at a given moment. Each group of galaxies shows the expected inside-out growth. Bottom: Lower radial limit of where stars are forming in the galaxy over time. Weaker-barred galaxies tend to form stars consistently in their inner regions, whereas stronger-barred galaxies stop forming stars in the inner few kpc. In each panel, the lines correspond to the median of each group and the shaded region represents the 25−75% quantiles. To best illustrate the growth of the disk over time, we use age bins of 0.2 Gyr.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
