Multiple minor mergers: formation of elliptical galaxies and constraints for the growth of spiral disks
Frederic Bournaud, Chanda J. Jog, Francoise Combes
Multiple, sequential mergers are unavoidable in the hierarchical build-up picture of galaxies, in particular for the minor mergers that are frequent and highly likely to have occur…

Lopsidedness and Sloshing in Centres of Advanced Mergers of Galaxies
Chanda J. Jog, Aparna Maybhate
We measure the non-axisymmetry in the luminosity distribution in the central few kpc of a sample of advanced mergers of galaxies, by analyzing their 2MASS images. All mergers show…

Global lopsided instability in a purely stellar galactic disc
K. Saha, F. Combes, C. Jog
It is shown that pure exponential discs in spiral galaxies are capable of supporting slowly varying discrete global lopsided modes, which can explain the observed features of lopsi…
