Spectral analysis of stellar orbits in a tidally induced bar
Grzegorz Gajda, Ewa L. Lokas, E. Athanassoula
Using numerical analysis of fundamental frequencies we study the orbital structure of a tidally induced bar formed in a simulated dwarf galaxy orbiting a Milky Way-like host. We fi…

On the tidal radius of satellites on prograde and retrograde orbits
Grzegorz Gajda, Ewa L. Lokas
A tidal radius is a distance from a satellite orbiting in a host potential beyond which its material is stripped by the tidal force. We derive a revised expression for the tidal ra…

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…
