Dynamical evolution of massive black holes in galactic-scale N-body simulations - introducing the regularized tree code "rVINE"
S. J. Karl, S. J. Aarseth, T. Naab +2
We present a hybrid code combining the OpenMP-parallel tree code VINE with an algorithmic chain regularization scheme. The new code, called "rVINE", aims to significantly improve t…
Constrained simulations of the Antennae Galaxies: Comparison with Herschel-PACS observations
Simon J. Karl, T. Lunttila, T. Naab +3
We present a set of hydro-dynamical numerical simulations of the Antennae galaxies in order to understand the origin of the central overlap starburst. Our dynamical model provides…
Disruption of Star Clusters in the Interacting Antennae Galaxies
Simon J. Karl, S. Michael Fall, Thorsten Naab
We reexamine the age distribution of star clusters in the Antennae in the context of N-body+hydrodynamical simulations of these interacting galaxies. All of the simulations that ac…
NGC6240: Merger-Induced Star Formation & Gas Dynamics
H. Engel, R. I. Davies, R. Genzel +9
We present spatially resolved integral field spectroscopic K-band data at a resolution of 0.13" (60pc) and interferometric CO(2-1) line observations of the prototypical merging sys…
One moment in time - modeling star formation in the Antennae
Simon J. Karl, Thorsten Naab, Peter H. Johansson +4
We present a new high-resolution N-body/SPH simulation of an encounter of two gas-rich disk galaxies which closely matches the morphology and kinematics of the interacting Antennae…
Simulating magnetic fields in the Antennae galaxies
H. Kotarba, S. J. Karl, T. Naab +4
We present self-consistent high-resolution simulations of NGC4038/4039 (the "Antennae galaxies") including star formation, supernova feedback and magnetic fields performed with the…
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…
