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$\micron$…
The Globular Cluster Systems around NGC 3311 and NGC 3309
Elizabeth Wehner, Bill Harris, Brad Whitmore +2
We present extensive new photometry in (g',i') of the large globular cluster (GC) system around NGC 3311, the central cD galaxy in the Hydra cluster. Our GMOS data cover a 5.5' fie…
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…
