The shapes of Milky Way satellites: looking for signatures of tidal stirring
Ewa L. Lokas, Steven R. Majewski, Stelios Kazantzidis +4
We study the shapes of Milky Way satellites in the context of the tidal stirring scenario for the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The standard procedures used to measure sh…
Formation of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Via Mergers of Disky Dwarfs
Stelios Kazantzidis, Ewa L. Lokas, Lucio Mayer +2
We perform collisionless N-body simulations to investigate whether binary mergers between rotationally-supported dwarfs can lead to the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph…
Evolutionary tracks of tidally stirred disky dwarf galaxies
Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis, Lucio Mayer
Using collisionless N-body simulations, we investigate the tidal evolution of late-type, rotationally supported dwarfs inside Milky Way-sized host galaxies. Our study focuses on a…
