Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers II. Feedback effects of Type Ia and II supernovae
Kenji Bekki, Yasuhiro Shioya
We numerically investigate chemodynamical evolution of major disk-disk galaxy mergers in order to explore the origin of mass-dependent chemical, photometric, and spectroscopic prop…
Group-cluster merging and the formation of starburst galaxies
Kenji Bekki
A significant fraction of clusters of galaxies are observed to have substructure, which implies that merging between clusters and subclusters is a rather common physical process of…
Unequal-mass galaxy mergers and the creation of cluster S0 galaxies
Kenji Bekki
It is a longstanding and remarkable problem when and how red S0 galaxies were formed in clusters of galaxies. We here propose that the major mechanism for the S0 creation is galaxy…
Tightness of the color-magnitude relation of elliptical galaxies and the epoch of major galaxy merging
Yasuhiro Shioya, Kenji Bekki
We investigate a one-zone chemophotometric evolution model of disk-disk galaxy mergers in order to clarify whether or not galaxy mergers with the widely spread merging epoch can re…
Formation of a polar-ring galaxy in a galaxy merger
Kenji Bekki
We numerically investigate stellar and gas dynamics in star-forming and dissipative galaxy mergers between two disk galaxies with specific orbital configurations. We find that viol…
Formation of metal-poor gaseous halo in gas-rich galaxy mergers
Kenji Bekki
We numerically investigate chemodynamical evolution of interstellar medium (ISM) in gas-rich disk-disk galaxy mergers in order to explore the origin of fundamental chemical propert…
