On the Formation of Boxy and Disky Elliptical Galaxies
A. Burkert, Th. Naab
N-body simulations of major spiral-spiral mergers with different mass ratios q <= 4:1 are presented. All mergers lead to spheroidal stellar systems with de Vaucouleurs-like surface…

Formation of Elliptical and S0 Galaxies by Close Encounters
Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We study a possible formation mechanism for elliptical/S0 galaxies using N-body simulations with GRAPE. A close galaxy encounter which does not lead to a merger can induce a strong…

On the structure and nature of dark matter halos
Andreas Burkert, Joseph Silk
The structure of dark matter halos as predicted from cosmological models is discussed and compared with observed rotation curves of dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxies. The theore…
