The major merger origin of the Andromeda II kinematics
Ivana Ebrová, Ewa L. Łokas, Sylvain Fouquet +1
Prolate rotation (i.e. rotation around the long axis) has been reported for two Local Group dwarf galaxies: Andromeda II, a dwarf spheroidal satellite of M31, and Phoenix, a transi…
Tidally induced bars in gas-rich dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way
Grzegorz Gajda, Ewa L. Łokas, E. Athanassoula
Bars in galaxies may form not only through instability, but also as a result of an interaction with another galaxy. In particular, they may appear in disky dwarf galaxies interacti…
Tidally induced morphology of M33 in hydrodynamical simulations of its recent interaction with M31
Marcin Semczuk, Ewa L. Lokas, Jean-Baptiste Salomon +2
We present a hydrodynamical model of M33 and its recent interaction with M31. This scenario was previously proposed in the literature in order to explain the distorted gaseous and…
Dark halo structure in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy: joint analysis of multiple stellar components
Kohei Hayashi, Michele Fabrizio, Ewa L. Łokas +4
Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Carina dSph revealed that this galaxy contains two dominant stellar populations of different age and kinematics. The co-existence…
