Dynamical Interactions of Galaxy Pairs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
As the dynamics of galaxy interactions is too broad a subject to be discussed in any depth in a single review, I will concentrate only on a few topics proposed to me by the organisers. Since a pair should be “two things of a kind”, I will not discuss merging and merger remnants. I will also leave out discussions on M/L and hence halo mass determinations. Good reviews covering these subjects, and some of the subjects treated here, have been given by Toomre (1977), Tremaine (1981), White (1982, 1983a), van Albada (1988), Barnes (1990) and others. Here I will briefly review the dynamics of sinking satellites and the effect of companions on elliptical galaxies, then discuss recent work on interacting disk systems, and finally focus on my favourite interacting pair NGC 5194/5195.
