Dwarf Galaxies and Star Clusters in Tidal Tails
arXiv:astro-ph/0107194
Abstract
We summarize the properties of tidal dwarf candidates in a sample of interacting galaxies and classify objects in tidal tails depending on their morphological appearance. New high-resolution dynamical models are needed to understand how the different structures seen in tidal tails are formed.
