Descripción
We present the study of the most massive galaxies (M^{*}>10^{11}
{M}_{&sun;}) found in a cosmological simulation performed with MASCLET
(Mesh Adaptative Scheme for CosmologicaL structurE evoluTion) and
analyzed with HALMA (HALo finder for MAsclet). We focus on the structure
of these virtual galaxies, analysizing their radial gradients,
morphology, kinematics and chemical characteristics. By classifying
galaxies depending on their merging history, morphology or kinematics we
have found that the most relevant differences in the profiles appear
when they are separated according to their merging history. We suggest
that some of those differences could be explained due to the spatial
segregation of the stellar populations formed in-situ and ex-situ.
