Scientific paper

Observational results are indicative of the fact that if wide and close galaxy pairs form a single population, then their evolution is characterized by initial orbits of a highly radial variety. We study the orbital evolution of galaxies, of comparable size and mass, under marginally bound conditions (without explicit massive halos, but with implicit small halos). We find that marginally bound collisions slowly converge towards a merging trajectory; the eccentricity of their orbits falls off slowly and remains practically constant for a long time, before attaining a stage of quick decrease of the same. Hence we find a radial infall evolution in which circularization occurs late.
