Are disks of satellites comprised of tidal dwarf galaxies?
Michal Bílek, Ingo Thies, Pavel Kroupa +1
It was found that satellites of nearby galaxies can form flattened co-rotating structures called disks of satellites or planes of satellites. Their existence is not expected by the…
Origin of the spectacular tidal shells of galaxy NGC474
Michal Bílek, Jérémy Fensch, Ivana Ebrová +4
The lenticular galaxy NGC474 hosts a rich system of tidal shells and streams, some of which are exceptionally bright. Two teams recently presented spectroscopic observations of the…
Evolution of globular-cluster systems of ultra-diffuse galaxies due to dynamical friction in MOND gravity
Michal Bílek, Hongsheng Zhao, Benoit Famaey +3
(Abridged) Dynamical friction can be used to distinguish Newtonian gravity and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) because it works differently in these frameworks. This concept, ho…
