One paper from CANDELS found some evidence for these types of mergers in a cluster environment: http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.3821 There are also several papers in the literature on this topic to get started, depending on the level you want. For example, Bell et al. 2006 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006ApJ...640..241B) or Naab et al. 2006 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006ApJ...636L..81N)Jeyhan Kartaltepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875207901031096991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612697638678594412.post-25007845267379669142012-09-19T12:43:50.541-07:002012-09-19T12:43:50.541-07:00Thanks Jeyhan!

What would you say is a good paper to get started on this topic?<br /><br />Jean TateJean Tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972705287087274819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612697638678594412.post-40785792922240937132012-09-17T10:50:17.750-07:002012-09-17T10:50:17.750-07:00Thanks for your comment Jean! You ask a very good ...Thanks for your comment Jean! You ask a very good question - these types of mergers do happen. We have several different names for these types of mergers: 'gas-poor', 'dry merger', and 'dissipationless mergers'. Since these mergers don't have the bursts of star formation that gas-rich ones do, they can be difficult to identify but it is believed they may have a very important role in the cluster environment.Jeyhan Kartaltepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875207901031096991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612697638678594412.post-75056075567609194472012-09-13T13:39:40.509-07:002012-09-13T13:39:40.509-07:00I second Anonymous' comment!

Has anyone studied this kind of merger? I imagine these mergers are common in the cores of rich, compact clusters of galaxies.<br /><br />Jean TateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612697638678594412.post-67236177385525310542012-06-15T19:43:31.047-07:002012-06-15T19:43:31.047-07:00Very clear and understandable.
