The Magellanic impact: Collision between the outer Galactic HI disk and the leading arms of the Magellanic stream
Kenji Bekki, Masashi Chiba, N. M. McClure-Griffiths
We show that collisions between the outer Galactic HI disk and the leading arms (LAs) of the Magellanic stream (MS) can create giant HI holes and chimney-like structures in the dis…
Formation of the Galactic globular clusters with He-rich stars in low-mass halos virialized at high redshift
K. Bekki, H. Yahagi, M. Nagashima +1
Recent observations have reported that the Galactic globular clusters (GCs) with unusually extended horizontal-branch (EHB) morphologies show a significantly lower velocity dispers…
Origin of lower velocity dispersions of ultra-compact dwarf galaxy populations in clusters of galaxies
Kenji Bekki
Recent observations have revealed that velocity dispersions of ``ultra-compact dwarf'' (UCD) galaxies are significantly smaller than those of other galaxy populations in the Fornax…
The environments and clustering properties of 2dFGRS-selected starburst galaxies
Matt Owers, Chris Blake, Warrick Couch +2
We investigate the environments and clustering properties of starburst galaxies selected from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) in order to determine which, if any, environme…
On the Origin of the Kinematical Differences Between the Stellar Halo and the Old Globular Cluster System in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Kenji Bekki
We discuss structural and kinematical properties of the stellar halo and the old globular cluster system (GCS) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) based on numerical simulations of…
The Origin of Large-scale HI structures in the Magellanic Bridge
E. Muller, K. Bekki
We investigate the formation of a number of key large-scale HI features in the ISM of the Magellanic Bridge using dissipationless numerical simulation techniques. This study compri…
