Abstract

Bars fuel the prolific star formation rate in many Starburst galaxies. They provide a mechanism for feeding gas into the nuclei as well as a laboratory for the study of molecular gas that is unbound and diffuse due to tidal strain and cloud collisions. A large percentage of galaxies show a stellar bar which is, however, in most cases almost devoid of (molecular) gas, except in the central region. Thus, long gaseous bars are rare and transient phenomena.
