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…
Statistical Properties of Collisionless Equal- and Unequal-Mass Merger Remnants of Disk Galaxies
Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We perform a large parameter survey of 112 collisionless N-body simulations of binary mergers of disk-galaxies with mass ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 using the special purpose…
The Formation of Disks in Elliptical Galaxies
Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We investigate detailed kinematical properties of simulated collisionless merger remnants of disk galaxies with mass ratios of 1:1 and 3:1. The simulations were performed by direct…
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…
Evidence for Large Stellar Disks in Elliptical Galaxies
Andreas Burkert, Thorsten Naab
High-resolution numerical simulations of galaxy mergers are analysed. The global structure and isophotal shapes of the merger remnants are in good agreement with the observations.…
