| Abstract | Results of numerical simulations of a collision of the gaseous components of two identical disk galaxies during a head-on collision of the galaxies in the polar direction are presented. When the relative velocity of the galaxy collision is small, their gaseous components merge. At high relative velocities (100–500 km/s), the massive stellar components of the galaxies (M $_{ g }$ = 10$^{9}$ M $_{⊙}$) pass through each other nearly freely, leaving behind the gaseous components, which are decelerated and heated by the collision. If the overall gaseous component of the colliding galaxies is able to cool to the virial temperature during the collision, a new galaxy forms. At velocities V ≥ 500 km/s, the gaseous component does not have time to cool, and the gas is scattered into intergalactic space, supplying it with heavy elements produced in supernovae in the colliding galaxies. High-velocity (V ≥ 100 km/s) collisions of identical low-mass galaxies (M $_{ g }$ ≤ 10$^{9}$ M $_{⊙}$) whose mass is dominated by the mass of gas lead to the disruption of their stellar components. The overall gaseous component forms a new galaxy when V ≤ 500 km/s, and is scattered into intergalactic space if the velocity becomes higher than this. A galaxy collision increases the star-formation rates in the disk galaxies by nearly a factor of 100. Rotation of the colliding galaxies in the same direction increases the changes of the disruption of both the stellar and gaseous components of the galaxies. The merger of galaxies during their collision can explain the presence of gaseous disks rotating opposite to the rotation of the stellar component in some ordinary elliptical galaxies. Moreover, galaxy mergers can help explain the origin of a comparatively young stellar population in some elliptical galaxies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
