The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars

X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14

We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…

Evolution of local Ultraluminous mergers from NIR spectroscopy

K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +4

We present results from our VLT Large Program to study the dynamical evolution of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We have so far obtained near-infrared high-resolution IS…

Cosmological Simulations of Elliptical Galaxy Formation in LCDM and LWDM Cosmologies

Lisa J. Wright, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Thorsten Naab +1

We present the results of a series of gas dynamical cosmological simulations of the formation of individual massive field galaxies in the standard concordance \LCDM and in a \LWDM…

Collisional Stellar Dynamics, Gas Dynamics and Special Purpose Computing

R. Spurzem, J. Makino, T. Fukushige +6

Challenging stellar dynamical problems, such as the study of gravothermal oscillations in star clusters, have in the past initiated the very successful building of GRAPE special pu…

Gas Dynamics and Inflow in gas-rich Galaxy Mergers

Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert

We performed N-body/SPH simulations of merging gas-rich disk galaxies with mass ratios of 1:1 and 3:1. A stellar disk and bulge component and a dark halo was realized with collisio…

Gas dynamics and disk formation in 3:1 mergers

Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert

We performed N-body/SPH simulations of merging gas rich disk-galaxies with a mass ratio of 3:1. A stellar disk and bulge component and a dark halo is realized with collisionless pa…
