Formation of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Via Mergers of Disky Dwarfs
Stelios Kazantzidis, Ewa L. Lokas, Lucio Mayer +2
We perform collisionless N-body simulations to investigate whether binary mergers between rotationally-supported dwarfs can lead to the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph…
Biases in mass estimates of dSph galaxies
Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis, Jaroslaw Klimentowski +1
Using a high resolution N-body simulation of a two-component dwarf galaxy orbiting in the potential of the Milky Way, we study two effects that lead to significant biases in mass e…
The grouping, merging and survival of subhaloes in the simulated Local Group
Jaroslaw Klimentowski, Ewa L. Lokas, Alexander Knebe +4
We use a simulation performed within the Constrained Local UniversE Simulation (CLUES) project to study a realistic Local Group-like object. We employ this group as a numerical lab…
The orientation and kinematics of inner tidal tails around dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way
Jaroslaw Klimentowski, Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis +3
Using high-resolution collisionless N-body simulations we study the properties of tidal tails formed in the immediate vicinity of a two-component dwarf galaxy evolving in a static…
The anatomy of Leo I: how tidal tails affect the kinematics
Ewa L. Lokas, Jaroslaw Klimentowski, Stelios Kazantzidis +1
We model the recently published kinematic data set for Leo I dSph galaxy by fitting the solutions of the Jeans equations to the velocity dispersion and kurtosis profiles measured f…
Tidal evolution of disky dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way potential: the formation of dwarf spheroidals
Jaroslaw Klimentowski, Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis +2
We conduct high-resolution collisionless N-body simulations to investigate the tidal evolution of dwarf galaxies on an eccentric orbit in the Milky Way (MW) potential. The dwarfs o…
