A numerical study of interactions and stellar bars

Inma Martinez-Valpuesta, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri, A. César González-García +2

For several decades it has been known that stellar bars in disc galaxies can be triggered by interactions, or by internal processes such as dynamical instabilities. In this work, w…

The fate of high-redshift massive compact galaxies

Ignacio G. de la Rosa, Francesco La Barbera, Ignacio Ferreras +4

Massive high-redshift quiescent compact galaxies (nicknamed red nuggets) have been traditionally connected to present-day elliptical galaxies, often overlooking the relationships t…

A cosmological context for compact massive galaxies

Martin Stringer, Ignacio Trujillo, Claudio Dalla Vecchia +1

To provide a quantitative cosmological context to ongoing observational work on the formation histories and location of compact massive galaxies, we locate and study a sample of ex…

Analytic and numerical realisations of a disk galaxy

M. J. Stringer, A. M. Brooks, A. J. Benson +1

Recent focus on the importance of cold, unshocked gas accretion in galaxy formation -- not explicitly included in semi-analytic studies -- motivates the following detailed comparis…

Physical constraints on the central mass and baryon content of satellite galaxies

Martin Stringer, Shaun Cole, Carlos Frenk

Recent analysis of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies reveals that these objects share a common central mass density, even though their luminosities range over five orders of magni…
