The Dark Halo - Spheroid Conspiracy and the Origin of Elliptical Galaxies
Rhea-Silvia Remus, Andreas Burkert, Klaus Dolag +4
Dynamical modeling and strong lensing data indicate that the total density profiles of early-type galaxies are close to isothermal, i.e., rho_tot ~ r^gamma with gamma approx -2. To…

Relaxation and Stripping: The Evolution of Sizes, Dispersions and Dark Matter Fractions in Major and Minor Mergers of Elliptical Galaxies
Michael Hilz, Thorsten Naab, Jeremiah P. Ostriker +3
We revisit collisionless major and minor mergers of spheroidal galaxies in the context of the size evolution of elliptical galaxies. The simulations are performed as a series of me…
