Numerical simulations of dwarf galaxy merger trees
Annelies Cloet-Osselaer, Sven De Rijcke, Bert Vandenbroucke +3
We investigate the evolution of dwarf galaxies using N -body/SPH simulations that incorporate their formation histories through merger trees constructed using the ex- tended Press-…
Gaseous infall triggering starbursts in simulated dwarf galaxies
Robbert Verbeke, Sven De Rijcke, Mina Koleva +3
Using computer simulations, we explored gaseous infall as a possible explanation for the starburst phase in Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies. We simulate a cloud impact by merging a sph…
On the origin of bursts in blue compact dwarf galaxies: clues from kinematics and stellar populations
M. Koleva, S. De Rijcke, W. W. Zeilinger +3
Blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) form stars at, for their sizes, extraordinarily high rates. In this paper, we study what triggers this starburst and what is the fate of the gala…
Simulations of the formation and evolution of isolated dwarf galaxies - II. Angular momentum as a second parameter
Joeri Schroyen, Sven De Rijcke, Sander Valcke +2
We show results based on a large suite of N-Body/SPH simulations of isolated, flat dwarf galaxies, both rotating and non-rotating. The main goal is to investigate possible mechanis…
