Medusa

N-body simulations of interacting galaxies

My master project was carried out at Chalmers under the supervision of Cathy Horellou. The thesis is about N-body simulations of interacting galaxies. The Medusa galaxy was modelled as an ongoing merger between an elliptical galaxy and a smaller spiral galaxy. You can download the thesis from the link below.
