The Gas Dynamics of Shell Galaxies
F. Combes, V. Charmandaris
It is widely accepted that shell galaxies form as a result of a merger between an elliptical and a small disk galaxy. Simulations of the stellar component have shown that the shell…
Single CO Peak in NGC 5850
S. Leon, F. Combes, D. Friedli
NGC 5850 is a prototype of double-barred galaxy (Friedli et al. 1996) classified as SBb(sr) I-II (Higdon et al. 1998; Prieto et al. 1997). This kind of system is primordial to unde…
Molecular Gas in The Cartwheel Galaxy
C. Horellou, V. Charmandaris, F. Combes +3
We present the first detection of molecular gas in the Cartwheel, the prototype of a collisional ring galaxy formed in the head-on encounter of two galaxies. Until now, only very l…
Statistics of optical warps in spiral disks
Vladimir Reshetnikov, Francoise Combes
We present a statistical study of optical warps in a sample of 540 galaxies, about five times larger than previous samples. About 40% of all late-type galaxies reveal S-shaped warp…
Clumpuscule Formation at High Redshift
F. Combes, D. Pfenniger
Over the last two decades, realistic studies have often concluded that the first bound objects to form can be very small, much smaller than a solar mass. After recombination, the J…
