The ATLAS 3D project - VI. Simulations of binary galaxy mergers and the link with fast rotators, slow rotators and kinematically distinct cores
We study the formation of early-type galaxies (ETGs) through mergers with a sample of 70 high-resolution (softening length <60pc and 12 × 10 6 particles) numerical simulations of binary mergers of disc galaxies (with 10 per cent of gas) and 16 simulations of ETG remergers. These simulations,...
