Really Large Mergers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Our galaxy contains an interesting stream of stars that may represent the disruption of a previous small satellite galaxy as it merged with the Milky Way. Forbes et al. (p. 1217) used the Keck 10-meter telescope and the Hubble Space telescope to obtain direct evidence for such merger processes in the Tadpole Galaxy UGC 10214. They observed the stretching of the colliding dwarf galaxy into a characteristic ellipse and the formation of tidal tails on the rotating galaxy arising from the gravitational forces induced from the dark-matter halo of the larger galaxy. These observations imply that this process is ongoing and likely happens fairly quickly in the universe, and may also explain the high abundance of small elliptical galaxies.

متن کاملThe Effects of Mergers: An International Comparison
This paper analyzes the effects of mergers around the world over the past 15 years. We utilize a large panel of data on mergers to test several hypotheses about mergers. The effects of the mergers are examined by comparing the performance of the merging firms with control groups of nonmerging firms. The comparisons are made on profitability and sales. The results show that mergers on average do...

Therefore, the present study is an attempt to open the black box of mergers of audit firms through in-depth i...
متن کاملMergers and Non-Thermal Processes in Clusters
Clusters of galaxies generally form by the gravitational merger of smaller clusters and groups. Mergers drive shocks in the intracluster gas which heat the intracluster gas. Mergers disrupt cluster cooling cores. Mergers produce large, temporary increases in the X-ray luminosities and temperatures of cluster; such merger boost may bias estimates of cosmological parameters from clusters. Chandra...
