Investigating the merger origin of early-type galaxies using ultra-deep optical images

Investigating the merger origin of early-type galaxies using ultra-deep optical images

The mass assembly of galaxies leaves various imprints on their surroundings, such as shells, streams and tidal tails. The frequency and properties of these fine structures depend on the mechanism driving the mass assembly: e.g. a monolithic collapse, rapid cold-gas accretion followed by violent disk...
