A library of galaxy mergers
arXiv:astro-ph/0310734
Abstract
We have undertaken a large series of numerical simulations with the goal to built a library of galaxy mergers (GALMER). Since the aim is to have more than a thousand of realisations, each individual run is simplified, with a small number of particules (24 000), but following the chemodynamical evolution, with star formation and feedback. We illustrate in this short report some preliminary results.
