Surface density map of gas and newly formed stars (≤100 Myr) of four models in two stellar mass bins (G013, G025, with an initial stellar mass of 10^9.5 M_⊙; G037, and G053 with an initial stellar mass of 10¹⁰ M_⊙) from our set of simulations. Each panel shows one model at different values of the parameter τ, with τ = 1 corresponding to the bar formation timescale. G013 and G053 have the same 20% gas mass fraction, while G025 and G037 have a 40% and 10% gas mass fraction, respectively (the latter two following the averaged properties of star-forming main-sequence galaxies at their respective stellar masses).
