        Chemodynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies : Metallicity gradients and scaling relations

        Abstract
        We simulate the chemodynamical evolution of a hundred elliptical galaxies using our GRAPE-SPH code, and succeed in reproducing the radial metallicity gradients and the global scaling relations such as the fundamental plane. These observations cannot be explained by either monolithic collapse or by major merger alone. Rather it requires a model in which both formation processes arise, such as the present CDM scheme.

        • On the Key Processes that Drive Galaxy Evolution: the Role of Galaxy Mergers, Accretion, Local Environment and Feedback in Shaping the Present-Day Universe 

          Martin, Garreth (2019-07-17)
          The study of galaxy evolution is a fundamental discipline in modern astrophysics, dealing with how and why galaxies of all types evolve over time. The diversity of present-day galaxies is a reflection of the processes ...

          Jackson, Ryan (2021-09-25)
          The study of galaxy formation and evolution is a cornerstone in astrophysics, as galaxies connect together all scales of the Universe. The physical processes that govern galaxies therefore needs to be fully understood if ...
