Diverse lifestyles of bar-like galaxies and their coevolution with the brightest galaxy in the most massive cluster of TNG50
Ewa L. Lokas
Clusters can provide propitious environments for bar formation in galaxies. This work studies the formation and evolution of 15 bar-like galaxies in the most massive cluster of the…
Tidally induced bar-like galaxies in simulated clusters
Ewa L. Lokas
One of the scenarios for bar formation in galaxies involves their interaction with a more massive companion. The stellar component is then transformed from a disk into a bar-like p…
The oldest tidally induced bar-like galaxy in the IllustrisTNG cluster
Ewa L. Lokas
New JWST observations have revealed the presence of a significant number of high-redshift barred galaxies. The origin of these bars remains unclear, and their properties appear dif…
On the nature of buckling instability in galactic bars
Ewa L. Lokas
Many strong simulated galactic bars experience buckling instability, which manifests itself as a vertical distortion out of the disk plane, and later dissipates. Using a simulation…
A Sagittarius-like simulated dwarf spheroidal galaxy from TNG50
Ewa L. Lokas
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy provides one of the most convincing examples of tidal interaction between satellite galaxies and the Milky Way (MW). The main bod…
Preprocessing in small groups: Three simulated galaxies interacting prior to cluster infall
Ewa L. Lokas
The formation of galaxy clusters is a complicated process that probably involves the accretion of galaxies in groups, as observed in nearby clusters, such as Virgo and Fornax. The…
