Dark matter distribution and dynamics of dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Ewa L. Lokas
I review the current status of dynamical modelling of dwarf spheroidal galaxies focusing on estimates of their dark matter content. Starting with the simplest methods using the vel…
Anatomy of a buckling galactic bar
Ewa L. Lokas
Using -body simulations we study the buckling instability in a galactic bar forming in a Milky Way-like galaxy. The galaxy is initially composed of an axisymmetric, exponential…
Buckling instability in tidally induced galactic bars
Ewa L. Lokas
Strong galactic bars produced in simulations tend to undergo a period of buckling instability that weakens and thickens them and forms a boxy/peanut structure in their central part…
Galaxies with prolate rotation in Illustris
Ivana Ebrova, Ewa L. Lokas
Tens of early type galaxies have been recently reported to possess prolate rotation, i.e. significant amount of rotation around the major axis, including two cases in the Local Gro…
