The Impact of Cooling and Feedback on Disc Galaxies
Frank C. van den Bosch
We present detailed, analytical models for the formation of disc galaxies to investigate the impact that cooling and feedback have on their structural properties. In particular, we…
Galaxy Cores as Relics of Black Hole Mergers
Milos Milosavljevic, David Merritt, Armin Rest +1
We investigate the hypothesis that the cores of elliptical galaxies and bulges are created from the binding energy liberated by the coalescence of supermassive binary black holes d…
The Origin of the Density Distribution of Disk Galaxies: A New Problem for the Standard Model of Disk Formation
Frank C. van den Bosch
We present new models for the formation of disk galaxies that improve upon previous models by following the detailed accretion and cooling of the baryonic mass, and by using realis…
The Angular Momentum Content of Dwarf Galaxies: New Challenges for the Theory of Galaxy Formation
Frank C. van den Bosch, Andreas Burkert, Rob A. Swaters
We compute the specific angular momentum distributions of a sample of low mass disk galaxies observed by Swaters. We compare these distributions to those of dark matter haloes obta…
The Universal Mass Accretion History of CDM Haloes
Frank C. van den Bosch
We use the extended Press-Schechter formalism to investigate the rate at which cold dark matter haloes accrete mass. We discuss the shortcomings of previous methods that have been…
Dusty Nuclear Disks and Filaments in Early Type Galaxies
H. D. Tran, Z. Tsvetanov, H. C. Ford +4
We examine the dust properties of a nearby distance-limited sample of early type galaxies using the WFPC2 of the Hubble Space Telescope. Dust is detected in 29 out of 67 galaxies (…
WFPC2 Images of the Central Regions of Early-Type Galaxies - I. The Data
Armin Rest, Frank C. van den Bosch, Walter Jaffe +5
We present high resolution R-band images of the central regions of 67 early-type galaxies obtained with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard the Hubble Space Telesc…
