The flattening and the orbital structure of early-type galaxies and collisionless N-body binary disk mergers
J. Thomas, R. Jesseit, R. P. Saglia +8
We use oblate axisymmetric dynamical models including dark halos to determine the orbital structure of intermediate mass to massive Coma early-type galaxies. We find a large variet…
Specific Angular Momentum of Disc Merger Remnants and the -Parameter
Roland Jesseit, Michele Cappellari, Thorsten Naab +2
We use two-dimensional kinematic maps of simulated binary disc mergers to investigate the -parameter, which is a luminosity weighted measure of projected angular momentum per…
The Connection between Orbits and Isophotal Shape in Elliptical Galaxies
Roland Jesseit, Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We examine the origin of photometrical properties of N-body merger remnants from the perpective of their orbital content. We show that disc mergers alone are unlikely to form a box…
