We review our current knowledge about a particular case of decoupled gas kinematics -- inner ionized-gas polar disks. Though more difficult to be noticed, they seem to be more numerous than their large-scale counterparts; our recent estimates imply about 10 per cent of early-type disk galaxies to be hosts of inner polar disks. Since in the most cases the kinematics of the inner polar gaseous disks is decoupled from the kinematics of the outer large-scale gaseous disks and since they nested around very old stellar nuclei, we speculate that the inner polar disks may be relics of very early events of external gas accretion several Gyr ago. Such view is in agreement with our new paradigm of the disk galaxies evolution.

I analyze statistics of the stellar population properties for stellar nuclei and bulges of nearby lenticular galaxies in different environments by using panoramic spectral data of the integral-field spectrograph SAURON retrieved from the open archive
of Isaac Newton Group. I estimate also the fraction of nearby lenticular galaxies having inner polar gaseous disks by exploring the volume-limited sample of early-type galaxies of the ATLAS-3D survey. By inspecting the two-dimensional velocity fields of the stellar and gaseous components with running tilted-ring technique, I have found 7 new cases of the inner polar disks. Together with those, the frequency of inner polar disks in nearby S0 galaxies reaches 10% that is much higher than the frequency of large-scale polar rings. Interestingly, the properties of the nuclear stellar populations in the inner polar ring hosts are statistically the same as those in the whole S0 sample implying similar histories of multiple gas accretion events from various directions.
Galaxies accrete material from the environment through acquisition and merging events. We study the nearby S0 galaxy IC 5181 to address the origin of the ionized-gas component orbiting the galaxy on polar orbit ionized gas of IC 5181 from broad and n
arrow-band imaging. We measure the ionized-gas and stellar kinematics and the line strengths of the Lick indices of the stellar component along both the major and minor axis. The age, metallicity, and [alpha/Fe] enhancement of the stellar populations are derived using single stellar population models with variable element abundance ratios. The ionized-gas metallicity is obtained from the equivalent width of the emission lines. IC 5181 is a morphologically undisturbed S0 galaxy with a classical bulge made by old stars with super solar metallicity and overabundance. Stellar age and metallicity decrease in the disk region. The galaxy hosts a geometrically and kinematically decoupled component of ionized gas. It is elongated along the galaxy minor axis and in orthogonal rotation with respect to the galaxy disk. We interpret the kinematical decoupling as suggestive of a component of gas, which is not related to the stars and having an external origin. It was accreted by IC 5181 on polar orbits from the surrounding environment.
We investigate the physical properties of the inner gaseous disks of the three, hot, Herbig B2e stars, HD 76534, HD 114981 and HD 216629, by modelling CFHT-ESPaDOns spectra using non-LTE radiative transfer codes. We assume that the emission lines are
produced in a circumstellar disk heated solely by the photospheric radiation from the central star in order to test if the optical and near-IR emission lines can be reproduced without invoking magnetospheric accretion. The inner gaseous disk density was assumed to follow a simple power-law in the equatorial plane, and we searched for models that could reproduce observed lines of HI (H$alpha$ and H$beta$), HeI, CaII and FeII. For the three stars, good matches were found for all emission line profiles individually; however, no density model based on a single power-law was able to reproduce all of the observed emission lines. Among the single power-law models, the one with the gas density varying as $sim 10^{-10},(R_{*}/R)^3, rm g,cm^{-3}$ in the equatorial plane of a 25 R$_{*}$ ($0.78$ AU) disk did the best overall job of representing the optical emission lines of the three stars. This model implies a mass for the H$alpha$-emitting portion of the inner gaseous disk of $sim 10^{-9} M_*$. We conclude that the optical emission line spectra of these HBe stars can be qualitatively reproduced by a $approx,1$ AU, geometrically thin, circumstellar disk of negligible mass compared to the central star in Keplerian rotation and radiative equilibrium.
Investigating the evolution of disk galaxies and the dynamics of proto-stellar disks can involve the use of both a hydrodynamical and a Poisson solver. These systems are usually approximated as infinitesimally thin disks using two- dimensional Cartes
ian or polar coordinates. In Cartesian coordinates, the calcu- lations of the hydrodynamics and self-gravitational forces are relatively straight- forward for attaining second order accuracy. However, in polar coordinates, a second order calculation of self-gravitational forces is required for matching the second order accuracy of hydrodynamical schemes. We present a direct algorithm for calculating self-gravitational forces with second order accuracy without artifi- cial boundary conditions. The Poisson integral in polar coordinates is expressed in a convolution form and the corresponding numerical complexity is nearly lin- ear using a fast Fourier transform. Examples with analytic solutions are used to verify that the truncated error of this algorithm is of second order. The kernel integral around the singularity is applied to modify the particle method. The use of a softening length is avoided and the accuracy of the particle method is significantly improved.
The main results from a deep X-ray observation of M82 are summarised: spatially-dependent chemical abundances, temperature structure of the gas, charge-exchange emission lines in the spectrum. We also present an update of the chemical bundances, based on a more refined extraction of spectra.
