Statistics of galaxy warps in the HDF North and South
V. Reshetnikov, E. Battaner, F. Combes +1
We present a statistical study of the presence of galaxy warps in the Hubble deep fields. Among a complete sample of 45 edge-on galaxies above a diameter of 1.''3, we find 5 galaxi…
Chemodynamical evolution of interacting galaxies
F. Combes, A. L. Melchior
We have undertaken numerical simulations of galaxy interactions and mergers, coupling the dynamics with the star formation history and the chemical evolution. The self-gravity of s…
MIFS: A Mega Integral Field Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Bacon, G. Adam, S. Cabrit +14
We describe MIFS, a second generation integral-field spectrograph for the VLT, operating in the visible wavelength range. It combines a 1'x1' field of view with the improved spatia…
Galaxy Evolution with ALMA
Francoise Combes
The submillimeter and millimeter domains are privileged for the exploration of galaxies at high redshift, because of the negative K-correction: the peak of the dust emission at 60-…
Global versus Nuclear Starbursts
Francoise Combes
The strongest starbursts are observed towards galaxy nuclei, or circumnuclear regions. However in interacting galaxies, star formation is also triggered in overlap regions far from…
Simulating galaxy surveys with FIRST (PACS & SPIRE)
A. -L. Melchior, F. Combes, B. Guiderdoni +1
The next generation of submillimetre/millimetre instruments will provide us with a deeper insight into the mechanisms that rule galaxy formation. As the brightest starbursts are th…
