Adaptive mesh refinement simulations of collisional ring galaxies: effects of the interaction geometry
Davide Fiacconi, Michela Mapelli, Emanuele Ripamonti +1
Collisional ring galaxies are the outcome of nearly axisymmetric high-speed encounters between a disc and an intruder galaxy. We investigate the properties of collisional ring gala…

Ring galaxies from off-centre collisions
M. Mapelli, L. Mayer
We investigate the formation of RE galaxies (i.e. of collisional ring galaxies with an empty ring), with N-body/SPH simulations. The simulations employ a recipe for star formation…

The ACS LCID project VII: the blue stragglers population in the isolated dSph galaxies Cetus and Tucana
M. Monelli, S. Cassisi, M. Mapelli +8
We present the first investigation of the Blue Straggler star (BSS) population in two isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group, Cetus and Tucana. Deep HST/ACS photomet…
