Simulating multiple merger pathways to the central kinematics of early-type galaxies
Christopher E. Moody, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Thomas J. Cox +2
Two-dimensional integral field surveys such as ATLAS^3D are producing rich observational data sets yielding insights into galaxy formation. These new kinematic observations have hi…
The M31 Velocity Vector. III. Future Milky Way-M31-M33 Orbital Evolution, Merging, and Fate of the Sun
Roeland P. van der Marel, Gurtina Besla, T. J. Cox +2
We study the future orbital evolution and merging of the MW-M31-M33 system, using a combination of collisionless N-body simulations and semi-analytic orbit integrations. Monte-Carl…
On Galaxies and Homology
Gregory S. Novak, Patrik Jonsson, Joel R. Primack +2
The definition of homology for single-component galaxies is clear, but for multi-component (luminous and dark matter) galaxies there is some ambiguity. We attempt to clarify the si…
The Role of Dwarf Galaxy Interactions in Shaping the Magellanic System and Implications for Magellanic Irregulars
Gurtina Besla, Nitya Kallivayalil, Lars Hernquist +3
We present a novel pair of numerical models of the interaction history between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) and our Milky Way (MW) in light of…
The Metallicity Evolution of Interacting Galaxies
Paul Torrey, Thomas J. Cox, Lisa Kewley +1
Nuclear inflows of metal-poor interstellar gas triggered by galaxy interactions can account for the systematically lower central oxygen abundances observed in local interacting gal…
The effects of a hot gaseous halo in galaxy major mergers
Benjamin P. Moster, Andrea V. Maccio', Rachel S. Somerville +2
Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations as well as observations indicate that spiral galaxies are comprised of five different components: dark matter halo, stellar disc, stellar bu…
