From Discs to Bulges: effect of mergers on the morphology of galaxies
Rahul Kannan, Andrea V. Maccio', Fabio Fontanot +3
We study the effect of mergers on the morphology of galaxies by means of the simulated merger tree approach first proposed by Moster et al. This method combines N-body cosmological…
Star formation in mergers with cosmologically motivated initial conditions
Wouter Karman, Andrea V. Maccio, Rahul Kannan +2
We use semi-analytic models and cosmological merger trees to provide the initial conditions for multi-merger numerical hydrodynamic simulations, and exploit these simulations to ex…
A New Channel for the Formation of Kinematically Decoupled Cores in Early-type galaxies
Athanasia Tsatsi, Andrea V. Macciò, Glenn van de Ven +1
We present the formation of a Kinematically Decoupled Core (KDC) in an elliptical galaxy, resulting from a major merger simulation of two disk galaxies. We show that although the t…
