Collisions and Mergers of Disk Galaxies: Hydrodynamics of Star Forming Gas
Susan A. Lamb, Nathan C. Hearn
We summarize the results of numerical simulations of colliding gas-rich disk galaxies in which the impact velocity is set parallel to the spin axes of the two galaxies. The effects…
Chandra Observations of Extended X-ray Emission in Arp 220
J. C. McDowell, D. L. Clements, S. A. Lamb +7
We resolve the extended X-ray emission from the prototypical ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220. Extended, faint edge-brightened, soft X-ray lobes outside the optical galaxy are…
Arp 119: A High Speed Galaxy Collision with Episodic Star Formation
Nathan C. Hearn, Susan A. Lamb
Colliding galaxies are excellent laboratories for studying galactic evolution and global star formation. Computer simulations of galaxy collisions, in which at least one galaxy has…
Galaxy Collisions and Star Formation
Susan A. Lamb, Nathan C. Hearn
We present a brief overview of some recent observations of colliding galaxies and relevant numerical simulations. These are compared, and details of the locations and history of co…
The Molecular Gas-Star Formation Connection in an Optically-Selected Sample of Interacting Galaxies
Howard A. Bushouse, Steven D. Lord, Susan A. Lamb +2
We have obtained CO(1-0) observations for a sample of 37 interacting galaxy systems, chosen from a parent sample of optically-selected interacting galaxies. The sample observed her…
Progressive Star Bursts and High Velocities in the Infrared Luminous, Colliding Galaxy Arp 118
Susan A. Lamb, Nathan C. Hearn, Yu Gao
In this paper we demonstrate for the first time the connection between the spatial and temporal progression of star formation and the changing locations of the very dense regions i…
