Abstract： The formation and evolutionary history of M31 are closely related to its dynamical structures, which remain unclear due to its high inclination. Gas kinematics could provide crucial evidence for the existence of a rotating bar in M31. Using the position-velocity diagram of [OIII] and HI, we are able to identify clear sharp velocity jump (shock) features with a typical amplitude over 100 km/s in the central region of M31 (4.6 kpc X 2.3 kpc, or 20 arcmin X 10 arcmin). We also simulate gas morphology and kinematics in barred M31 potentials and find that the bar-induced shocks can produce velocity jumps similar to those in [OIII]. The identified shock features in both [OIII] and HI are broadly consistent, and they are found mainly on the leading sides of the bar/bulge, following a hallmark pattern expected from the bar-driven gas inflow. Shock features on the far side of the disk are clearer than those on the near side, possibly due to limited data coverage on the near side, as well as obscuration by the warped gas and dust layers. Further hydrodynamical simulations with more sophisticated physics are desired to fully understand the observed gas features and to better constrain the parameters of the bar in M31.

Abstract： Gas morphology and kinematics in the Milky Way contain key information for understanding the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. We present a high resolution hydrodynamical simulation based on a realistic barred Milky Way potential constrained by recent observations. Our model can reproduce most features in the observed longitude-velocity diagram, including the Central Molecular Zone, the Near and Far 3-kpc arms, the Molecular Ring, and the spiral arm tangents. It can also explain the non-circular motions of masers obtained by the recent BeSSeL2 survey. The central gas kinematics are consistent with a mass of $6.9\times10^8\; {\rm M}_{\odot}$ in the Nuclear Stellar Disk. Our model predicts the formation of an elliptical gaseous ring surrounding the bar, which is composed of the 3-kpc arms, Norma arm, and the bar-spiral interfaces. This ring is similar to those "inner" rings in some Milky Way analogs with a boxy/peanut-shaped bulge. The kinematics of gas near the solar neighbourhood are governed by the Local arm, which is induced by the four major stellar spiral arms. The bar pattern speed constrained by our gas model is $37.5-40\; {\rm km}\;{\rm s}^{-1}\;{\rm kpc}^{-1}$, corresponding to a corotation radius of $R_{\rm CR}=6.0-6.4\;{\rm kpc}$. The rotation curve of our model rises gently within the central $\sim5\;{\rm kpc}$, which is significantly less steep than those predicted by modern zoom-in cosmological simulations such as Auriga.

Abstract： Digital technology intervenes in sci-fi films, influencing the aesthetic expression of architectural scenes. Digital sci-fi architecture presents new aesthetic characteristics of the fusion and coexistence of various aesthetics: artificial general intelligence and flexible intelligent technology update sci-fi architecture, resulting in the mutual integration and symbiosis of rigid machine beauty and life aura beauty; minimalist architectural spaces and complex architectural structures produce the interpenetration of minimalist aesthetics and complex aesthetics; digital simulacra and digital virtual space the infiltration and flow of to the real space permeate and flow into the real space, resulting in the interplay of gorgeous optoelectronic beauty and spatially nested psychedelic beauty in the architectural spaces.
