Line-of-sight velocity distributions of elliptical galaxies from collisionless mergers
A. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, M. Balcells, V. S. Olshevsky
We analyse the skewness of the line-of-sight velocity distributions in model elliptical galaxies built through collisionless galaxy mergers. We build the models using large N-body…
CGCG 480-022: A distant lonesome merger?
C. Carretero, A. Vazdekis, C. Gonzalez-Garcia +3
We present a complete analysis, which includes morphology, kinematics, stellar populations and N-body simulations of CGCG 480-022, the most distant (cz=14317 km/s) isolated galaxy…
Growth of galactic bulges by mergers. II. Low-density satellites
M. C. Eliche-Moral, M. Balcells, J. A. L. Aguerri +1
Satellite accretion events have been invoked for mimicking the internal secular evolutionary processes of bulge growth. However, N-body simulations of satellite accretions have pai…
Merging of Elliptical Galaxies as Possible Origin of the Intergalactic Stellar Population
Letizia Stanghellini, A. Cesar Gonzalez-Garcia, Arturo Manchado
We present N-body simulations of elliptical galaxy encounters into dry mergers to study the resulting unbound intergalactic stellar population, in particular that of the post-Main…
Harassment Origin for Kinematic Substructures in Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies?
A. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, J. A. L. Aguerri, M. Balcells
We have run high resolution N-body models simulating the encounter of a dwarf galaxy with a bright elliptical galaxy. The dwarf absorbs orbital angular momentum and shows counter-r…
Satellite Infall and the Growth of Bulges of Spiral Galaxies
M. C. Eliche-Moral, M. Balcells, J. A. L. Aguerri +1
For bulges of spiral galaxies, the concentration, or Sersic index, increases with bulge luminosity and bulge-to-disk ratio B/D (Andredakis, Peletier, & Balcells 1995, MNRAS, 275, 8…
