Dark matter in dwarf galaxies of the Local Group
Ewa L. Lokas
We review basic properties of the population of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group focusing on dwarf spheroidal galaxies found in the immediate vicinity of the Milky Way. The eviden…
Tidal stirring of Milky Way satellites: a simple picture with the integrated tidal force
Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis, Lucio Mayer +1
Most of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group were probably formed via environmental processes like the tidal interaction with the Milky Way. We study this process via N-bod…
Biases in mass estimates of dSph galaxies
Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis, Jaroslaw Klimentowski +1
Using a high resolution N-body simulation of a two-component dwarf galaxy orbiting in the potential of the Milky Way, we study two effects that lead to significant biases in mass e…
