Simulations of Galaxy Mergers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
The last few years have seen a considerable amount of effort devoted to the problem of simulating the coalescence of galaxies. After a discussion of the merits and limitations of the N-body techniques that have been used, I summarise the insight this research gives into the mechanisms driving strong interactions in galaxy collisions and into the structure of the remnants such collisions produce.
