Models of galaxies

  • 1. Columbia Univ., New York (USA)

Description

A physical description of the various types of galaxies is presented. It is shown that models with no collisions (stellar) produce smooth and hot systems resembling E galaxies, while models with inelastic collisions simulated by artificial cooling after each time step (gaseous) produce irregular messes. Two-component (gas and stars) models are considered, in which the gaseous component is transformed into a stellar component to simulate star formation. (B.R.H.)
