Real Galaxies
- Here is a collection of real interacting galaxies. Model
3 of them using the GalCrash applet. In each case, explain why you chose
the parameters you did (mass ratio, pericenter, galaxy geometry). Make
sure to make a note of the time at which the simulation matches the observed
galaxy.
