Galaxy interactions in IllustrisTNG-100, I: The power and limitations of visual identification
Kelly Blumenthal, Jorge Moreno, Joshua E. Barnes +6
We present a sample of 446 galaxy pairs constructed using the cosmological simulation IllustrisTNG-100 at z = 0, with M = 10-10 M. We produce…
Go with the Flow: Understanding Inflow Mechanisms in Galaxy Collisions
Kelly Blumenthal, Joshua Barnes
Dynamical interactions between colliding spiral galaxies strongly affect the state and distribution of their interstellar gas. Observations indicate that interactions funnel gas to…
HI vs. H - Comparing the Kinematic Tracers in Modeling the Initial Conditions of the Mice
S. Alireza Mortazavi, Jennifer M. Lotz, Joshua E. Barnes +2
We explore the effect of using different kinematic tracers (HI and H) on reconstructing the encounter parameters of the Mice major galaxy merger (NGC 4676A/B). We observed the M…
Morphology and Molecular Gas Fractions of Local Luminous Infrared Galaxies as a Function of Infrared Luminosity and Merger Stage
Kirsten L. Larson, David B. Sanders, Joshua E. Barnes +8
We present a new, detailed analysis of the morphologies and molecular gas fractions for a complete sample of 65 local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) from the Great Observatorie…
ALMA Resolves the Nuclear Disks of Arp 220
Nick Scoville, Lena Murchikova, Fabian Walter +20
We present 90 mas (37 pc) resolution ALMA imaging of Arp 220 in the CO (1-0) line and continuum at mm. The internal gas distribution and kinematics of both galactic nuclei…
Transformations of galaxies. III. Encounter dynamics and tidal response as functions of galaxy structure
Joshua E. Barnes
Tidal interactions between disc galaxies depend on galaxy structure, but the details of this relationship are incompletely understood. I have constructed a three-parameter grid of…
