Searching for tidal tails around Centauri using RR Lyrae Stars
J. G. Fernández-Trincado, A. K. Vivas, C. E. Mateu +5
We present a survey for RR Lyrae stars in an area of 50 deg around the globular cluster Centauri, aimed to detect debris material from the alleged progenitor galaxy of the…
Tidal radii and destruction rates of globular clusters in the Milky Way due to bulge-bar and disk shocking
Edmundo Moreno, Barbara Pichardo, Hector Velazquez
We calculate orbits, tidal radii, and bulge-bar and disk shocking destruction rates for 63 globular clusters in our Galaxy. Orbits are integrated in both an axisymmetric and a non-…
A novel method to bracket the corotation radius in galaxy disks: vertex deviation maps
Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Teresa Antoja, Francesca Figueras +3
We map the kinematics of stars in simulated galaxy disks with spiral arms using the velocity ellipsoid vertex deviation (l). We use test particle simulations, and for the first…
