Descripción
Boxy/peanut bulges in disk galaxies have been associated with stellar
bars. We analyze their properties in a large sample of N-body
simulations, using different methods to measure their strength, shape,
and possible asymmetry, and then to intercompare the results. Some of
these methods can be applied to both simulations and observations. In
particular, we seek correlations between bar and peanut properties,
which, when applied to real galaxies, will give information on bars in
edge-on galaxies and on peanuts in face-on galaxies.
