Abstract
Kinematically peculiar cores in ellipticals are described, and the evidence for mergers is discussed. Results from simulations show that counterrotating cores can form when an elliptical accretes a lower luminosity elliptical or bulge. The models reproduce well the observed properties of peculiar core ellipticals, including the asymmetries observed in spectral line broadening functions. These asymmetries arise from the absorption of orbital angular momentum by the primary material.
