Minor mergers and their impact on the kinematics of old and young stellar populations in disk galaxies
Y. Qu, P. Di Matteo, M. D. Lehnert +2
By means of N-body simulations we investigate the impact of minor mergers on the angular momentum and dynamical properties of the merger remnant. Our simulations cover a range of i…

Characteristics of thick disks formed through minor mergers: stellar excesses and scale lengths
Yan Qu, Paola Di Matteo, Matthew D. Lehnert +1
By means of N-body/SPH simulations we investigate the morphological properties of thick disks formed through minor mergers. We show that the vertical surface density profile of the…
