Tree-ring structure of Galactic bar resonance in N-body simulations
Rimpei Chiba, Michiko Fujii, Junichi Baba +2
We study the structure and evolution of the galactic bar's resonant phase-space in self-consistent N-body simulations of the Milky Way, with and without perturbations from the Sagi…
Self-consistent bulge/disk/halo galaxy dynamical modeling using integral field kinematics
D. S. Taranu, D. Obreschkow, J. J. Dubinski +26
We introduce a method for modeling disk galaxies designed to take full advantage of data from integral field spectroscopy (IFS). The method fits equilibrium models to simultaneousl…
A recent origin for Saturn's rings from the collisional disruption of an icy moon
John Dubinski
The disruption of an icy moon in a collision with an interloping comet a few hundred million years ago is a simple way to create Saturn's rings. A ring parent moon with a mass comp…
Mergers in Galaxy Groups. II. The Fundamental Plane of Elliptical Galaxies
Dan S. Taranu, John Dubinski, H. K. C. Yee
Observations consistently show that elliptical galaxies follow a tight "fundamental plane" scaling relation between size, mean surface brightness and velocity dispersion, with the…
Mergers in Galaxy Groups - I. Structure and Properties of Elliptical Remnants
Dan S. Taranu, John Dubinski, H. K. C. Yee
We present collisionless simulations of dry mergers in groups of three to twenty-five galaxies to test the hypothesis that elliptical galaxies form at the centers of such groups. M…
PAndAS in the mist: The stellar and gaseous mass within the halos of M31 and M33
Geraint F. Lewis, Robert Braun, Alan W. McConnachie +12
Large scale surveys of the prominent members of the Local Group have provided compelling evidence for the hierarchical formation of massive galaxies, revealing a wealth of substruc…
