Description

In this work we use Eris, a high resolution cosmological simulation of the formation of a Milky Way-like late-type galaxy, to study the details of the formation and evolution of pseudobulges. We find that the pseudobulge forms early and its evolution is tightly interconnected with the evolution of the stellar bar, which is in turn affected by gas accretion and minor merger activity.
