Old stellar counter-rotating components in elliptical-spiral mergers: exploring the GalMer database
P. Di Matteo, F. Combes, A. -L. Melchior +1
We investigate, by means of numerical simulations, the kinematics of elliptical-spiral merger remnants. Counterrotation can appear both in coplanar and in non-coplanar retrograde m…
Old stellar counter-rotating components in early-type galaxies from elliptical-spiral mergers
P. Di Matteo, F. Combes, A. -L. Melchior +1
We investigate, by means of numerical simulations, the possibility of forming counter-rotating old stellar components by major mergers between an elliptical and a spiral galaxy. We…
Chemodynamical evolution of interacting galaxies: the GalMer view
P. Di Matteo, F. Combes, I. Chilingarian +2
We have undertaken a large set of simulations of galaxy interactions and mergers (GalMer Project) in order to study the physical processes related to galaxy encounters. All morphol…
Lyman-alpha radiative transfer during the Epoch of Reionization: contribution to 21-cm signal fluctuations
B. Semelin, F. Combes, S. Baek
During the epoch of reionization, Ly-alpha photons emitted by the first stars can couple the neutral hydrogen spin temperature to the kinetic gas temperature, providing the opportu…
Star formation efficiency in galaxy interactions and mergers: a statistical study
P. Di Matteo, F. Combes, A. -L. Melchior +1
We investigate the enhancement of star formation efficiency in galaxy interactions and mergers, by numerical simulations of several hundred galaxy collisions. All morphological typ…
