A possible impact near the Milky Way of a former major merger in the Local Group
Sylvain Fouquet, François Hammer, Yanbin Yang +2
The Milky Way (MW) dwarf system presents two exceptional features, namely it forms a thick plane called the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS), and the two biggest dwarves, the Magellanic…
Galaxy disks do not need to survive in the L-CDM paradigm: the galaxy merger rate out to z~1.5 from morpho-kinematic data
M. Puech, F. Hammer, P. F. Hopkins +5
About two-thirds of present-day, large galaxies are spirals such as the Milky Way or Andromeda, but the way their thin rotating disks formed remains uncertain. Observations have re…
Loops formed by tidal tails as fossil records of a major merger
J. Wang, F. Hammer, E. Athanassoula +3
Many haloes of nearby disc galaxies contain faint and extended features, including loops, which are often interpreted as relics of satellite infall in the main galaxy's potential w…
The Formation of Large Galactic Disks: Revival or Survival?
F. Hammer, M. Puech, H. Flores +5
Using the deepest and the most complete set of observations of distant galaxies, we investigate how extended disks could have formed. Observations include spatially-resolved kinema…
The formation of disks in massive spiral galaxies
F. Hammer, M. Puech, H. Flores
The flatness of the rotation curve inside spiral galaxies is interpreted as the imprint of a halo of invisible matter. Using the deepest observations of distant galaxies, we have i…
The baryonic content and Tully-Fisher relation at z~0.6
M. Puech, F. Hammer, H. Flores +3
[abr.] Using the multi-integral-field spectrograph GIRAFFE at VLT, we previsouly derived the stellar-mass Tully-Fisher Relation (smTFR) at z~0.6, and found that the distant relatio…
