Simulations of stars and gas in spiral galaxies
A new code, DUAL, is developed to model the 2D dynamics of stars and gas in spiral galaxies. DUAL combines grid-based hydrodynamics and N-body techniques. A triaxial model of the bulge of M31 is constructed from its surface brightness profile and shown, using hydrodynamic simulations, to reproduce o...
