CGCG 480-022: A Distant Lonesome Merger?
2006
[EN]We present a complete analysis, which includes morphology, kinematics, stellar populations, and N-body simulations, of CGCG 480-022, the most distant (cz = 14,317 km s-1) isolated galaxy studied so far in such detail. The results all support the hypothesis that this galaxy has suffered a major merger event with a companion of ~0.1 times its mass. Morphology reveals the presence of a circumnuclear ring and possibly further ring debris. The radial velocity curve looks symmetrical, while the velocity dispersion increases with radius, reaching values that do not correspond to a virialized system. Moreover, this galaxy deviates significantly from the fundamental plane and the Faber-Jackson r…
A propósito del Bronce Atlántico y el origen de los calderos de remaches peninsulares
2002
[ES] Los calderos atlánticos de remaches de la Península Ibérica son datados con frecuencia en los ss. VIII-VII, aunque recientes publicaciones plantean que el origen de esta producción metálica en ámbito peninsular podría ser anterior. Intentamos mostrar, sobre la base de contextos estratigráficos y dataciones radiocarbónicas, que los calderos atlánticos de remaches aparecen en la Península Ibérica en el transcurso de los ss. XI-X cal BC.
Gravitational waves from galaxy encounters
2007
We discuss the emission of gravitational radiation produced in encounters of dark matter galactic halos. To this aim we perform a number of numerical simulations of typical galaxy mergers, computing the associated gravitational radiation waveforms as well as the energy released in the processes. Our simulations yield dimensionless gravitational wave amplitudes of the order of $10^{-13}$ and gravitational wave frequencies of the order of $10^{-16}$ Hz, when the galaxies are located at a distance of 10 Mpc. These values are of the same order as those arising in the gravitational radiation originated by strong variations of the gravitational field in the early Universe, and therefore, such gra…
