A Numerical Study of the Chemo-Dynamical Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the chemo-dynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies, to understand the origin of the mass-dependence of photometric properties such as the colour-magnitude relation (CMR). Our threedimensional TREE N-body/SPH numerical simulation takes into account both Type II and Type Ia supernovae and follows the evolution of the abundances of several chemical elements. We derive the photometric properties of the simulation end-products and compare them with the observed CMR.

Scaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملEffects of Sne Ii and Sne Ia Feedback on the Chemo-dynamical Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies
We numerically investigate the dynamical and chemical processes of the formation of elliptical galaxies in a cold dark matter (CDM) universe, in order to understand the origin of the mass-dependence of the photometric properties of elliptical galaxies. Our three-dimensional TREE N-body/SPH numerical simulations of elliptical galaxy formation take into account both Type II (SNe II) and Type Ia (...
متن کاملGCD+: A New Chemodynamical Approach to Modeling Supernovae and Chemical Enrichment in Elliptical Galaxies
We have developed a new galactic chemo-dynamical evolution code, called GCD+, for studies of galaxy formation and evolution. This code is based on our original threedimensional tree N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics code which includes selfgravity, hydrodynamics, radiative cooling, star formation, supernova feedback, and metal enrichment. GCD+ includes a new Type II (SNe II) and Ia (SNe Ia...
متن کاملEvolution of dwarf-elliptical galaxies
Here we present as an extension to already published models of massive spherical galaxies one-dimensional chemodynamical models of dwarf elliptical galaxies in the mass range between 10 and 10 M and initial density fluctuation of 1σ and 3σ. Because of their vanishing angular momentum the models are restricted to spherical symmetry. Due to this limitation the dynamics of the different components...
متن کاملCHEMO – DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF DISK GALAXIES, SMOOTHED PARTICLES HYDRODYNAMICS APPROACH Chemo – Dynamical SPH code
A new Chemo – Dynamical Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (CD – SPH) code is presented. The disk galaxy is described as a multi – fragmented gas and star system, embedded into the cold dark matter halo. The star formation (SF) process, SNII, SNIa and PN events as well as chemical enrichment of gas have been considered within the framework of standard SPH model. Using this model we try to describe ...
