The Dynamical Evolution of Galaxies in Clusters
John Dubinski
The evolution of galaxies is driven strongly by dynamical processes including internal instabilities, tidal interactions and mergers. The cluster environment is a useful laboratory…

Constraining Dark Halo Potentials with Tidal Tails
John Dubinski, J. Christopher Mihos, Lars Hernquist
We present an extensive parameter survey to study the influence of halo mass profiles on the development of tidal tails in interacting disk galaxies. We model the galaxies using a…

Determining the galactic mass distribution using tidal streams from globular clusters
C. Murali, J. Dubinski
We discuss how to use tidal streams from globular clusters to measure the mass distribution of the Milky Way. Recent proper motion determinations for globular clusters from plate m…
