Dynamics and Shocks from H Emission of Nearby Galaxy Mergers
S. Alireza Mortazavi, Jennifer M. Lotz
We examine the dynamical properties of interacting galaxies and the properties of shocked gas produced as a result of the interaction. We observed 22 galaxy mergers using the Spars…
HI vs. H - Comparing the Kinematic Tracers in Modeling the Initial Conditions of the Mice
S. Alireza Mortazavi, Jennifer M. Lotz, Joshua E. Barnes +2
We explore the effect of using different kinematic tracers (HI and H) on reconstructing the encounter parameters of the Mice major galaxy merger (NGC 4676A/B). We observed the M…
Beyond Spheroids and Discs: Classifications of CANDELS Galaxy Structure at 1.4 < z < 2 via Principal Component Analysis
Michael A. Peth, Jennifer M. Lotz, Peter E. Freeman +15
Important but rare and subtle processes driving galaxy morphology and star-formation may be missed by traditional spiral, elliptical, irregular or Sérsic bulge/disk classifications…
Modeling the Initial Conditions of Interacting Galaxy Pairs Using Identikit
S. Alireza Mortazavi, Jennifer M. Lotz, Joshua E. Barnes +1
We develop and test an automated technique to model the dynamics of interacting galaxy pairs. We use Identikit (Barnes & Hibbard 2009, Barnes 2011) as a tool for modeling and match…
