Simulations of tidally induced spiral arms
Marcin Semczuk, Ewa L. Lokas
The origin of grand design spiral structure in galaxies is still under debate but one of promising scenarios involves tidal interactions. We use N-body simulations to study the evo…

The resonant nature of tidal stirring of disky dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way
Ewa L. Lokas, Marcin Semczuk, Grzegorz Gajda +1
Using N-body simulations we study the tidal evolution of initially disky dwarf galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like host, a process known to lead to the formation of dwarf spheroidal…
