Bars have a complex three-dimensional shape. In particular their inner part is vertically much thicker than the parts further out. Viewed edge-on, the thick part of the bar is what is commonly known as a boxy-, peanut- or X- bulge and viewed face-on it is referred to as a barlens. These components are due to disc and bar instabilities and are composed of disc material. I review here their formation, evolution and dynamics, using simulations, orbital structure theory and comparisons to observations.

Optimising the analysis of emission lines in galaxies: the case of the MUSE TIMER galaxy NGC 613
Multi-component emission line fitting of NGC 613 reveals bar-driven gas inflow along the dust lanes and an AGN-driven biconical ionised outflow aligned with the radio jet.
