The Structure of Merger Remnants of Compact Groups of Galaxies: Some Preliminary Results

  • Conference paper
Galaxy Interactions at Low and High Redshift

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union ((IAUS,volume 186))

Abstract

We present some preliminary results on the properties of multiple merger remnants. We discuss their axial ratios, their V/σ ratio as a function of ellipticity, and their circular velocity profiles.
