The shape-velocity alignment of satellites forged by tidal locking and dynamical friction

Hao Yang, Wenting Wang, Ting S. Li +8

Utilizing the TNG50 simulation, we study two types of alignments for satellites/subhalos: 1) the alignment of their major axes with the galactocentric radial directions (radial ali…

: Tidal Disruption in Crater 2 and Formation of Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Group

Guilherme Limberg, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li +19

We present results of a spectroscopic campaign around the diffuse dwarf galaxy Crater 2 (Cra2) and its tidal tails as part of the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey ($S^5…
