The Formation of Large Galactic Disks Through The Hierarchical Scenario: Further consequences
Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang, Hector Flores +1
Using the deepest and most complete observations of distant galaxies, we investigate the progenitors of present-day large spirals. Observations include spatially-resolved kinematic…
A possible impact near the Milky Way of a former major merger in the Local Group
Sylvain Fouquet, François Hammer, Yanbin Yang +2
The Milky Way (MW) dwarf system presents two exceptional features, namely it forms a thick plane called the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS), and the two biggest dwarves, the Magellanic…
Does the dwarf galaxy system of the Milky Way originate from Andromeda?
Sylvain Fouquet, François Hammer, Yanbin Yang +2
The Local Group is often seen to be a quiescent environment without significant merger events. However an ancient major merger may have occurred in the most massive galaxy. Numeric…
Loops formed by tidal tails as fossil records of a major merger
J. Wang, F. Hammer, E. Athanassoula +3
Many haloes of nearby disc galaxies contain faint and extended features, including loops, which are often interpreted as relics of satellite infall in the main galaxy's potential w…
