Evolution along the sequence of S0 Hubble types induced by dry minor mergers. II - Bulge-disk coupling in the photometric relations through merger-induced internal secular evolution
M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, A. Cesar Gonzalez-Garcia, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri +4
Galaxy mergers are considered as questionable mechanisms for the evolution of lenticular galaxies (S0's), on the basis that even minor ones induce structural changes that are diffi…
Evolution along the sequence of S0 Hubble types induced by dry minor mergers. I - Global bulge-to-disk structural relations
M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, A. Cesar Gonzalez-Garcia, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri +4
Recent studies have argued that galaxy mergers are not important drivers for the evolution of S0's, on the basis that mergers cannot preserve the coupling between the bulge and dis…
The Near-Infrared Coronal Line Spectrum of 54 Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei
A. Rodríguez-Ardila, M. A. Prieto, J. G. Portilla +1
(Abridge) The relationship between coronal line (CL) emission and nuclear activity in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is analyzed, for the first time, based on NIR spectra. The 8 CLs…
A minor merger origin for stellar inner discs and rings in spiral galaxies
M. C. Eliche-Moral, A. C. González-García, M. Balcells +4
Recent observations show that inner discs and rings (IDs and IRs, henceforth) are not preferably found in barred galaxies, a fact that points to the relevance of formation mechanis…
On the buildup of massive early-type galaxies at z<~1. II- The coordinated key role of wet, mixed, and dry major mergers
M. C. Eliche-Moral, M. Prieto, J. Gallego +1
Hierarchical models predict that present-day massive early-type galaxies (mETGs) have finished their assembly at a quite late cosmic epoch (z~0.5), conflicting directly with galaxy…
On the buildup of massive early-type galaxies at z<~1. I- Reconciling their hierarchical assembly with mass-downsizing
M. C. Eliche-Moral, M. Prieto, J. Gallego +6
Several studies have tried to ascertain whether or not the increase in abundance of the early-type galaxies (E-S0a's) with time is mainly due to major mergers, reaching opposite co…
