bar out

obsolete To lock a teacher out of a school or classroom, as by barring the door shut. This was once a Christmas tradition in the 17th century, with students often demanding gifts in return for letting the teacher or schoolmaster back inside. The schoolmaster had become so used to being barred out on Christmas morning that he began preparing a basket of small gifts and treats for his students in anticipation of their antics. Two of the boys in our grammar school were eager to revive the old tradition of barring out, but no one else was foolish enough to go along with it.

For spirals with a bar that wasn't very prominent, de Vaucouleurs introduced an intermediate type (SAB) between the "ordinary" spirals (SA) and the strongly barred systems (SB).

In addition, many barred spirals have not only one large-scale primary bar but also a small secondary one nested in their cores.

Surface photometry with CCDs has shown, however, that barred structures are, in general, more boxy than elliptical.

Yet another revelation is that barred galaxies often host stellar and gaseous rings, particularly nuclear rings, typically 3,000 light-years across, that closely encircle their cores.

Both formation processes seem necessary to explain some differences observed in the bar properties of "early-type" (SBa, SBb) and "late-type" (SBc, SBd) barred spirals.
