The Evolution of Tidal Debris
Chris Mihos
Galaxy interactions expel a significant amount of stars and gas into the surrounding environment. I review the formation and evolution of the tidal debris spawned during these coll…
Interactions and Mergers of Cluster Galaxies
Chris Mihos
The high-density environment of galaxy clusters is ripe for collisional encounters of galaxies. While the large velocity dispersion of clusters was originally thought to preclude s…
HST observations of NGC 6240
J. Gerssen, R. P. van der Marel, D. Axon +3
WFPC2 images and STIS spectroscopic observations are presented of the double nucleus in the merger system NGC 6240. We find that: (a) the kinematics of the ionized gas is similar t…
The Development of Gas/Star Offsets in Tidal Tails
Chris Mihos
We present models of interacting galaxies in order to study the development of spatial offsets between the gaseous and stellar components in tidal tails. Observationally, such offs…
Interactions and mergers at higher redshift
Chris Mihos
In models of hierarchical structure formation, interactions and mergers at high redshift play a key role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Numerical modeling and observat…
Do mergers make (normal) ellipticals?
Chris Mihos
Under the merger hypothesis, elliptical galaxies are built through mergers of gas-rich spirals. However, the relative paucity of HI in most normal ellipticals demands significant p…
