Age velocity dispersion relations and heating histories in disc galaxies
Michael Aumer, James Binney, Ralph Schönrich
We analyse the heating of stellar discs by non axisymmetric structures and giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in N-body simulations of growing disc galaxies. The analysis resolves long-…

The quiescent phase of galactic disc growth
Michael Aumer, James Binney, Ralph Schönrich
We perform a series of controlled N-body simulations of growing disc galaxies within non-growing, live dark matter haloes of varying mass and concentration. Our initial conditions…
