Galaxy collisions

C Struck - Physics Reports, 1999 - Elsevier
Theories of how galaxies, the fundamental constituents of large-scale structure, form and
evolve have undergone a dramatic paradigm shift in the last few decades. Earlier views …

Ripples in disk galaxies

F Schweizer, P Seitzer - … Journal, Part 1 (ISSN 0004-637X), vol …, 1988 - adsabs.harvard.edu
We present evidence that ripples (" shells") occur not only in ellipticals, as hitherto believed,
but also in disk galaxies of Hubble types S0, S0/Sa, and Sa, and probably even in the Sbc …

Searching for diffuse light in the M96 galaxy group

AE Watkins, JC Mihos, P Harding… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present deep, wide-field imaging of the M96 galaxy group (also known as the Leo I
Group). Down to surface brightness limits of μ B= 30.1 and μ V= 29.5, we find no diffuse …

HST/ACS observations of shell galaxies: inner shells, shell colours and dust

Context. Shells in Elliptical Galaxies are faint, sharp-edged features, believed to provide
evidence for a merger event. Accurate photometry at high spatial resolution is needed to …

Early-Type Galaxies in Extremely Isolated Environments: Typical Ellipticals?

PM Marcum, CE Aars, MN Fanelli - The Astronomical Journal, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We have conducted a BVR imaging survey of nine early-type galaxies previously verified to
exist in extremely isolated environments. Our goals are to establish a baseline of …

Optical imaging and high spatial resolution 21 CM HI observations of the peculiar galaxy NGC 2782 (Arp 215)
