Dynamical Friction and Galaxy Merging Timescales

The timescale for galaxies within merging dark matter halos to merge with each other is an important ingredient in galaxy formation models. Accurate estimates of merging timescales are required for predictions of astrophysical quantities such as black hole binary merger rates, the build-up of stellar mass in central galaxies, and the statistical properties of satellite galaxies within dark matt...

Dynamical Friction and Cooling Flows in Galaxy Clusters

We investigate a model of galaxy clusters in which the hot intracluster gas is efficiently heated by dynamical friction (DF) of galaxies. We allow for both subsonic and supersonic motions of galaxies and use the gravitational drag formula in a gaseous medium presented by Ostriker (1999). The energy lost by the galaxies is either redistributed locally or into a Gaussian centered on the galaxy. W...

Dynamical friction of radio galaxies in galaxy clusters

The distribution of luminous radio galaxies in galaxy clusters has been observed to be concentrated in the inner region. We consider the role of dynamical friction of massive galaxies (M ∼ 10 M⊙), assuming them to be hosts of luminous radio galaxies, and show that beginning with a Navarro-Frenk-White density profile of a cluster of mass Mcl ∼ 10 15 M⊙ of concentration c ∼ 5 and collapsing at z ...

Galaxy Transformation by Merging

Theoretical considerations and observational data support the idea that mergers were more frequent in the past. At high redshifts, violent interactions and mergers may be implicated in the origin of Lyman-break galaxies, sub-mm starbursts, and active galactic nuclei. Most stars in cluster ellipticals probably formed at redshifts z > 2, as did most of the halo and globular clusters of the Milky ...
