GEMS: The destiny of blue spheroidal galaxies
One of the key predictions of hierarchical galaxy formation models is that a significant fraction of elliptical galaxies form in late merging events.

| description | One of the key predictions of hierarchical galaxy formation models is that a significant fraction of elliptical galaxies form in late merging events. One of the most important diagnostics of such an assembly is the existence of blue spheroidal galaxies, which have spheroid-dominated morphologies and blue colors indicating recent star formation, as an intermediate step in the evolution of elliptical galaxies. |
