The shape alignment of satellite galaxies in galaxy pairs in SDSS
Peng Wang, Quan Guo, Noam I. Libeskind +3
It has been shown, both in simulations and observationally, that the tidal field of a large galaxy can torque its satellites such that the major axis of satellite galaxies points t…

Alignment between satellite and central galaxies in the SDSS DR7: dependence on large-scale environment
Peng Wang, Yu Luo, Xi Kang +5
The alignment between satellites and central galaxies has been studied in detail both in observational and theoretical works. The widely accepted fact is that the satellites prefer…
