The Impact of Mergers on the Survival and Abundance of Disk-Dominated Galaxies (2009)
Koda, Jun, Milosavljevic, Milos, Shapiro, Paul R.
We study the formation of disk-dominated galaxies in a LCDM universe. Their existence is considered to be a challenge for the LCDM cosmology, because galaxy mergers isotropize stellar disks and...
The Cluster-Merger Shock in 1E 0657-56 (2008)
Koda, Jun, Milosavljevic, Milos, Shapiro, Paul R., Nagai, Daisuke, Nakar, Ehud
The merging galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56, known as the "bullet cluster," is one of the hottest clusters known. The X-ray emitting plasma exhibits bow-shock-like temperature and density jumps. The...
On The Survival and Abundance of Disk-dominated Galaxies (2007)
Koda, Jun, Milosavljevic, Milos, Shapiro, Paul R.
We study the formation of disk-dominated galaxies in a Lambda CDM universe. Their existence is considered to be a challenge for the Lambda CDM cosmology, because galaxy mergers isotropize stellar...
The Cluster-Merger Shock in 1E 0657–56: Faster than a Speeding Bullet? (2007)
Milosavljević, Miloš, Koda, Jun, Nagai, Daisuke, Nakar, Ehud, Shapiro, Paul R.
Shock waves driven in the intergalactic medium during the merging of galaxy clusters have been observed in X-ray imaging and spectroscopy. Fluid motions inferred from the shock strength and...
