Forming a Large Disc Galaxy from a z<1 Major Merger
F. Governato, C. B. Brook, A. M. Brooks +8
Using high resolution SPH simulations in a fully cosmological Lambda CDM context we study the formation of a bright disk dominated galaxy that originates from a "wet" major merger…
Galaxy Merger Morphologies and Time-Scales from Simulations of Equal-Mass Gas-Rich Disc Mergers
Jennifer M. Lotz, Patrik Jonsson, T. J. Cox +1
A key obstacle to understanding the galaxy merger rate and its role in galaxy evolution is the difficulty in constraining the merger properties and time-scales from instantaneous s…
The Formation of Polar Disk Galaxies
Chris B. Brook, Fabio Governato, Thomas Quinn +5
Polar Ring Galaxies, such as NGC4650A, are a class of galaxy which have two kinematically distinct components that are inclined by almost 90 degrees to each other. These striking g…
