Shell Galaxies, Dynamical Friction, and Dwarf Disruption
Ivana Ebrova, Bruno Jungwiert, Gabriela Canalizo +2
Using N-body simulations of shell galaxies created in nearly radial minor mergers, we investigate the error of collision dating, resulting from the neglect of dynamical friction an…

Shell Galaxies: Dynamical Friction, Gradual Satellite Decay and Merger Dating
Ivana Ebrova, Bruno Jungwiert, Gabriela Canalizo +2
With the goal to refine modelling of shell galaxies and the use of shells to probe the merger history, we develop a new method for implementing dynamical friction in test-particle…
