Journal ArticleDOI
One moment in time—modeling star formation in the antennae
Simon J. Karl,Thorsten Naab,Peter H. Johansson,Hanna Kotarba,C. M. Boily,Florent Renaud,Florent Renaud,Christian Theis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of an encounter of two gas-rich disk galaxies that closely matches the morphology and kinematics of the interacting Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/39) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
NGC 6240: merger-induced star formation and gas dynamics
H. Engel,Richard Davies,Reinhard Genzel,Linda J. Tacconi,Erin K. S. Hicks,Eckhard Sturm,T. Naab,Peter H. Johansson,Simon J. Karl,Claire E. Max,Anne M. Medling,P. van der Werf +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented spatially resolved integral field spectroscopic K-band data at a resolution of 0.13 �� (60 pc) and interferometric CO(2−1) line observations of the prototypical merging system NGC 6240.

Journal ArticleDOI
Simulating magnetic fields in the Antennae galaxies
Hanna Kotarba,Simon J. Karl,Thorsten Naab,Peter H. Johansson,Klaus Dolag,Harald Lesch,Federico Stasyszyn +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present self-consistent high-resolution simulations of NGC 4038/4039 (the "Antennae galaxies") including star formation, supernova feedback, and magnetic fields performed with the N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) code, in which magnetohydrodynamics are followed with the SPH method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disruption of Star Clusters in the Interacting Antennae Galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the age distribution of star clusters in the Antennae in the context of N-body+hydrodynamical simulations of these interacting galaxies.
