Simulations of Compact Groups of Galaxies with Halos
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Self-consistent simulations of seven groups are performed from the maximum expansion to the present using Aarseth's N-body code. An initial galaxy consists of 100 stars. Its mass, half-mass radius, and central velocity dispersion are 1, 0.41, and 0.96. Units of mass, length, velocity, and time are 1.4×101 2M⊙, 100 kpc, 245 kms−1 and 4.0×108y. Table 1 gives the elapsed time from the Big Bang to the formation of a multiple merger tm+Tc*/2. For H0=80 kms−1Mpc−1, the Hubble time H0−1=30.6 in our units. Dense groups except B form multiple mergers in a Hubble time.
