Most Recent Match to NGC 4038/9 data
preliminary match
Omega trade study
(iN=60, iS=20)
Inclination trade study
(wN=-60, wS=120)
most recent match
(70,-60) (30,120)
movie of most recent match
(70,-60) (30,120) (N=70k)
rotation of most recent match
(70,-60) (30,120) (N=70k)

John Dubinski's simulation of The Antennae
Status Feb. 2004: want to play with internal structure of galaxies to see if we can get better match to inner morphology ("Ring-hook"), and reduce velocity of N.tail.
