The popular model for the formation of early-type galaxies is the hierarchical merging scenario. However, the details and frequency of merging are not yet known, particularly in dense environments. The high-mass end of the galaxy luminosity function...

In this talk I will discuss observations of ionized and neutral gas in the early-type galaxy NGC 2974. We extracted rotation curves both for the warm and cold gas, and applied the asymmetric drift correction to the velocities obtained from the...

I have performed a set of hydrodynamic simulations of multiple galaxy mergers both with and without a cosmological context using Gadget. Using a set of existing simulations of binary mergers of gas-rich spiral galaxies, I found that the simulated...

The formation and evolution of the giant planets of our Solar System presents several problems: the cores of the planets should have been driven into the Sun by Type I migration, faster than they could accrete their massive gaseous atmosphere; once...
