Simulations of Line Profile Structure in Shell Galaxies

Original language description

In the context of exploring mass distributions of dark matter haloes in giant ellipticals, we extend the analysis carried out by Merrifield & Kuijken (1998) for stellar line profiles of shells created in nearly radial mergers of galaxies. We show that line-of-sight velocity distributions are more complex than previously predicted. We simulate shell formation and analyze the detectability of spectroscopic signatures of shells after convolution with spectral PSFs.
