Tidal evolution of disky dwarf galaxies: prograde versus retrograde orbits
Ewa L. Lokas, Marcin Semczuk
The formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group from disky progenitors via tidal interaction with a bigger host is one of the most promising scenarios of their origin…
Andromeda II as a merger remnant
Ewa L. Lokas, Ivana Ebrova, Andres del Pino +1
Using N-body simulations we study the origin of prolate rotation recently detected in the kinematic data for And II, a dSph satellite of M31. We propose an evolutionary model for t…
Adventures of a tidally induced bar
E. L. Lokas, E. Athanassoula, V. P. Debattista +5
Using N-body simulations, we study the properties of a bar induced in a dwarf galaxy as a result of tidal interaction with the Milky Way. The dwarf is initially composed of a disk…
