Galaxy transmutations: The double ringed galaxy ESO 474-G26
V. Reshetnikov, F. Bournaud, F. Combes +4
Surface photometry and a 21cm HI line spectrum of the giant double-ringed galaxy ESO 474-G26 are presented. The morphology of this system is unique among the 30,000 galaxies with >…
Kinematics of tidal tails in interacting galaxies: Tidal Dwarf Galaxies and projection effects
F. Bournaud, P. -A. Duc, P. Amram +2
The kinematics of tidal tails in colliding galaxies has been studied via Fabry-Perot observations of the Halpha emission. With their large field of view and high spatial resolution…
Unequal-mass galaxy merger remnants: spiral-like morphology but elliptical-like kinematics
Frederic Bournaud, Francoise Combes, Chanda J. Jog
It is generally believed that major galaxy mergers with mass ratios in the range 1:1-3:1 result in remnants that have properties similar to elliptical galaxies, and minor mergers b…
Identifying old Tidal Dwarf Galaxies in Simulations and in the Nearby Universe
Pierre-Alain Duc, Frederic Bournaud, Frederic Masset
Most Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs) so-far discussed in the literature may be considered as young ones or even newborns, as they are still physically linked to their parent galaxies b…
Halpha Kinematics of Tidal Tails in Interacting Systems: Projection Effects and Dark Matter in TDGs
P. Amram, F. Bournaud, P. -A. Duc
Several interacting systems exhibit at the tip of their long tidal tails massive condensations of atomic hydrogen, which may be the progenitors of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies. Because, qu…
