Elliptical galaxies interacting with the cluster tidal field: origin of the intracluster stellar population
V. Muccione, L. Ciotti
With the aid of simple numerical models, we discuss a particular aspect of the interaction between stellar orbital periods inside elliptical galaxies (Es) and the parent cluster ti…
High-resolution re-simulations of massive DM halos and the Fundamental Plane of galaxy clusters
B. Lanzoni, A. Cappi, L. Ciotti
Pure N-body high-resolution re-simulations of 13 massive dark matter halos in a Lambda-CDM cosmology are presented. The resulting sample is used to investigate the physical origin…
A parallel implementation of a new fast algorithm for N-body simulations
P. Londrillo, C. Nipoti, L. Ciotti
A new, momentum preserving fast Poisson solver for N-body systems sharing effective O(N) computational complexity, has been recently developed by Dehnen (2000, 2002). We have imple…
Recovering true metal abundances of the ICM
Silvia Pellegrini, Luca Ciotti
Recovering the true average abundance of the intracluster medium (ICM) is crucial for estimates of its global metal content, which in turn is linked to its past evolution and to th…
Analytical properties of the R^(1/m) luminosity law
L. Ciotti, G. Bertin
In this paper we describe some analytical properties of the R^{1/m} law proposed by Sersic (1968) to categorize the photometric profiles of elliptical galaxies. In particular, we p…
