Dry Mergers in GEMS: The Dynamical Evolution of Massive Early-Type Galaxies

Show other versions (1)

We have used the 28'x 28' HST image mosaic from the GEMS (Galaxy Evolution from Morphology and SEDs) survey in conjunction with the COMBO-17 photometric redshift survey to constrain the incidence of major mergers between spheroid-dominated galaxies with little cold gas (dry mergers) since...
