Scientific paper

The formation and evolution of ring galaxies, produced by collisions between two galaxies, are investigated using a three-dimensional, combined N-body/hydrodynamical computer code. Specifically, the dependence of ring structure and temporal development is studied as a function of the mass ratio between the two colliding galaxies: a gas-rich disc galaxy and a gas-free spherical galaxy. The morphology, density, and velocity structures are given for both the stellar and gaseous components of the disc. A collision between two galaxies of equal mass is shown to be qualitatively different in many respects when compared with a collision involving galaxies of unequal mass.
