M51 revisited: a genetic algorithm approach of its interaction history
Ch. Theis, Ch. Spinneker
Detailed models of observed interacting galaxies suffer from the extended parameter space. Here, we present results from our code MINGA which couples an evolutionary optimization s…

Galaxies and Genes: Towards an Automatic Modeling of Interacting Galaxies
Ch. Theis, Ch. Gerds, Ch. Spinneker
The main problems in modeling interacting galaxies are the extended parameter space and the fairly high CPU costs of self-consistent N-body simulations. Therefore, traditional mode…
