Study of galactic interaction and merging using n-body simulation techniques

Cel



I plan to study the interaction and merging of galaxies via N-body simulations. The use of high performance computer facilities will allow me to investigate merging in compact groups of galaxies using direct summation N-body codes. Thus the simulation will be self-consistent and will not be affected by the geometry of the system.
I will use the final steps of the evolution of these simulations to stu the structure of merger remnants. I plan to look at the shapes of the remnants, the distribution of matter and their kinematics. I would like to make detailed comparisons of my results with observational data, and to check whether elliptical galaxies can be merger remnants of compact groups.
I plan also to study the orbital structure of the remnant of a merger between two individual galaxies. We will make statistical study of the orbits of stars and see how these depend on the parameters of the encounter orbit and on the type of the two merging galaxies.
