Barred galaxies are a specific type of spiral galaxy that feature a distinct elongated structure, or "bar," made up of stars that extends from the central region of the galaxy. This bar typically contains a higher density of stars compared to the surrounding regions and often influences the dynamics and structure of the galaxy. The bar structure can affect the motion of stars and gas within the galaxy, facilitating the transfer of material toward the center.
