The Impact of Stellar Populations on the Dynamics of Merger Remnants
B. Rothberg, J. Fischer
Many studies and simulations suggest gas-rich mergers do not contribute significantly to the overall star-formation rate and total mass function of galaxies. The velocity dispersio…

A Dynamical Miss: A Study of the Discrepancy Between Optical and Infrared Kinematics in Mergers
Barry Rothberg
Recently, controversy has erupted over whether gas-rich spiral-spiral mergers are capable of forming {\it m} ellipticals. Measurements of from the 2.29$\micron$…

Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei: I. Gas-Rich Merger Remnants
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +2
We study the origin and properties of 'extra' or 'excess' central light in the surface brightness profiles of gas-rich merger remnants. Combining a large set of hydrodynamical simu…
