Abstract

Using high resolution N-body simulations with hydrodynamics and star formation, we investigate interactions and the resulting starbursts in galaxies with properties typical of z 3. We apply spectral population models to produce mock-HST images, and discuss the observed magnitude, color, and morphological appearance of our simulated galaxies in both the rest-UV and rest-visual bands.
