Photometric and Kinematic Characterization of Tidal Dwarf Galaxy candidates
D. Miralles-Caballero, L. Colina, S. Arribas
Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDG), or self-graviting objects created from the tidal forces in interacting galaxies, have been found in several merging systems. This work will focus on ide…

Kinemetry of SINS High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies: Distinguishing Rotating Disks from Major Mergers
K. L. Shapiro, R. Genzel, N. M. Forster Schreiber +23
We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our criteria a…
