Characterizing the red optical sky background fluctuations from narrow-band imaging
M. Puech, H. Flores, Y. B. Yang +4
The detection and characterization of the physical properties of very distant galaxies will be one the prominent science case of all future Extremely Large Telescopes, including th…
Galaxy disks do not need to survive in the L-CDM paradigm: the galaxy merger rate out to z~1.5 from morpho-kinematic data
M. Puech, F. Hammer, P. F. Hopkins +5
About two-thirds of present-day, large galaxies are spirals such as the Milky Way or Andromeda, but the way their thin rotating disks formed remains uncertain. Observations have re…
Could M31 come from a major merger and eject the LMC away?
S. Fouquet, F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang +3
We investigated a scenario in which M31 could be the remnant of a major merger and at the origin of the LMC. Galaxy merger simulations were run in order to reproduce some M31 prope…
Does M31 result from an ancient major merger?
F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang, J. L. Wang +3
The numerous streams in the M31 halo are currently assumed to be due to multiple minor mergers. Here we use the GADGET2 simulation code to test whether M31 could have experienced a…
Disentangling the morpho-kinematic properties of a face-on merger at z~0.7
Isaura Fuentes-Carrera, Hector Flores, Yanbin Yang +4
At intermediate redshifts, many galaxies seem to be perturbed or suffering from an interaction. Considering that disk galaxies may have formed and evolved through minor mergers or…
How was the Hubble sequence 6 Gyrs ago?
R. Delgado-Serrano, F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang +3
The way galaxies assemble their mass to form the well-defined Hubble sequence is amongst the most debated topic in modern cosmology. One difficulty is to link distant galaxies to t…
