Time-average properties of major mergers: mergers significantly scatter high-z scaling relations

Mathieu Puech, Hector Flores, Myriam Rodrigues +2

Interpreting the scaling relations measured by recent large kinematic surveys of galaxies has remained hampered by large observational scatter. We show that the observed IS…

A 2-3 billion year old major merger paradigm for the Andromeda galaxy and its outskirts

F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang, J. L. Wang +3

Recent observations of our neighbouring galaxy M31 have revealed that its disk was shaped by widespread events. The evidence for this includes the high dispersion ( 3) o…

Most pseudo-bulges can be formed at later stages of major mergers

T Sauvaget, F Hammer, M Puech +3

Most giant spiral galaxies have pseudo or disk-like bulges that are considered to be the result of purely secular processes. This may challenge the hierarchical scenario predicting…

Studying distant galaxies: A Handbook of Methods and Analyses

F. Hammer, M. Puech, H. Flores +1

Distant galaxies encapsulate the various stages of galaxy evolution and formation from over 95% of the development of the universe. As early as twenty-five years ago, little was kn…

Morpho-kinematics of z~1 galaxies probe the hierarchical scenario

M. Rodrigues, F. Hammer, H. Flores +2

We have studied a representative sample of intermediate-mass galaxies at z~1, observed by the kinematic survey KMOS3D. We have re-estimated the kinematical parameters from the publ…

The Magellanic Stream System: I. Ram-pressure tails and the relics of the collision between the Magellanic Clouds

F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang, H. Flores +2

We have analyzed the Magellanic Stream (MS) using the deepest and the most resolved H I survey of the Southern Hemisphere (the Galactic All-Sky Survey). The overall Stream is struc…
