The mass and angular momentum distribution of simulated massive early-type galaxies to large radii
Xufen Wu, Ortwin Gerhard, Thorsten Naab +5
We study the dark and luminous mass distributions, circular velocity curves (CVC), line-of-sight kinematics, and angular momenta for a sample of 42 cosmological zoom simulations of…

Relaxation and Stripping: The Evolution of Sizes, Dispersions and Dark Matter Fractions in Major and Minor Mergers of Elliptical Galaxies
Michael Hilz, Thorsten Naab, Jeremiah P. Ostriker +3
We revisit collisionless major and minor mergers of spheroidal galaxies in the context of the size evolution of elliptical galaxies. The simulations are performed as a series of me…

How do minor mergers promote inside-out growth of ellipticals, transforming the size, density profile and dark matter fraction?
Michael Hilz, Thorsten Naab, Jeremiah P. Ostriker
There is observational evidence for inside-out growth of elliptical galaxies since , which is not driven by in-situ star formation. Many systems at high redshift hav…
