Dense Stellar Cores in Merger Remnants
Chris Mihos, Lars Hernquist
We use numerical models which include star formation to analyze the mass profiles of remnants formed by mergers of disk galaxies. During a merger, dissipation in gas and ensuing st…

Star Forming Galaxy Models: Blending Star Formation into TREESPH
Chris Mihos, Lars Hernquist
We have incorporated star formation algorithms into a hybrid N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics code (TREESPH) in order to describe the star forming properties of disk galaxies…

Ultraluminous Starbursts in Major Mergers
Chris Mihos, Lars Hernquist
We use numerical simulation to investigate the triggering of starbursts in merging disk galaxies. The properties of the merger-driven starbursts are sensitive to the structure of t…
