Constraining the NFW Potential with Observations and Modeling of LSB Galaxy Velocity Fields
Rachel Kuzio de Naray, Stacy S. McGaugh, J. Christopher Mihos
We model the NFW potential to determine if, and under what conditions, the NFW halo appears consistent with the observed velocity fields of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. W…
The Detailed Evolution of E+A Galaxies into Early Types
Yujin Yang, Ann Zabludoff, Dennis Zaritsky +1
Post-starburst, or E+A galaxies, are the best candidates for galaxies in transition from being gas-rich and star-forming to gas-poor and passively-evolving via galaxy-galaxy merger…
Kinematics of Planetary Nebulae in M 51's Tidal Tail
John Feldmeier, Chris Mihos, Patrick Durrell +2
The galaxy pair NGC 5194/95 (M 51) is one of the closest and best known interacting systems. Despite its notoriety, however, many of its features are not well studied. Extending we…
Models of Cuspy Triaxial Galaxies
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, J. Christopher Mihos, Steinn Sigurdsson +1
We construct numerical models of mildly triaxial elliptical galaxies with central density cusps. Using a technique we call ``adiabatic squeezing'', we begin with a spherical gamma=…
Gas/Star Offsets in Tidal Tails
Chris Mihos
We use numerical simulations to study the development of gas/star offsets in the tidal tails of merging galaxies. These offsets are shown to be a natural consequence of the radiall…
The Molecular ISM in Low Surface Brightness Disk Galaxies
Chris Mihos, Marco Spaans, Stacy McGaugh
We present models for the interstellar medium in disk galaxies. In particular, we investigate whether the ISM in low surface brightness galaxies can support a significant fraction…
Dynamical Stability and Environmental Influences in Low Surface Brightness Disk Galaxies
Chris Mihos, Stacy McGaugh, Erwin de Blok
Using analytic stability criteria, we demonstrate that, due to their low surface mass density and large dark matter content, LSB disks are quite stable against the growth of global…
Excitation of Activity in Galaxies by Minor Mergers
Lars Hernquist, Chris Mihos
Mergers between gas--rich disks and less--massive dwarf galaxies are studied using numerical simulation. As the orbit of a satellite decays through dynamical friction, the primary…
