Bulges vs elliptical galaxies: some clues from their formation in a cosmological context
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2007
Abstract
We report on an extension, through cosmological simulations, of the two-phase formation scenario for elliptical galaxies to classical spiral bulges. In particular, we analyze the possibility that the old stellar population of bulges forms in a fast phase, while the younger stellar component forms or is assembled in a slow phase, in part from disk material suffering instabilities and in part through satellite capture or mergers.
