Quenching of Star Formation
Vivienne Wild, Tamas Budavari, Jeremy Blaizot +5
In the last decade we have seen an enormous increase in the size and quality of spectroscopic galaxy surveys, both at low and high redshift. New statistical techniques to analyse l…
Post-starburst galaxies: more than just an interesting curiosity
Vivienne Wild, C. Jakob Walcher, Peter H. Johansson +5
From the VIMOS VLT DEEP Survey (VVDS) we select a sample of 16 galaxies with spectra which identify them as having recently undergone a strong starburst and subsequent fast quenchi…
Towards an accurate model for the Antennae Galaxies
Simon J. Karl, Thorsten Naab, Peter H. Johansson +2
In the framework of hierarchical structure formation ellipticals can form from merging of smaller disk galaxies. The nearby interacting 'Antennae' galaxy pair (NGC 4038/39) is one…
Termination of star formation by BH feedback in equal- and unequal-mass mergers of disk and elliptical galaxies
Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We present binary galaxy merger simulations of gas-rich disks (Sp-Sp), of early-type galaxies and disks (E-Sp, mixed mergers), and mergers of early-type galaxies (E-E, dry mergers)…
Kinemetry of SINS High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies: Distinguishing Rotating Disks from Major Mergers
K. L. Shapiro, R. Genzel, N. M. Forster Schreiber +23
We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our criteria a…
Equal- and unequal-mass mergers of disk and elliptical galaxies with black holes
Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We present binary galaxy merger simulations with varying mass ratios and different progenitor morphologies. The simulations include mergers of gas-rich disks (Sp-Sp), of early-type…
