Understanding the Structural Scaling Relations of Early-Type Galaxies
Lauren A. Porter, Rachel S. Somerville, Joel R. Primack +1
We use a large suite of hydrodynamical simulations of binary galaxy mergers to construct and calibrate a physical prescription for computing the effective radii and velocity disper…
