Evolution of star clusters in arbitrary tidal fields
Florent Renaud, Mark Gieles, Christian Boily
We present a novel and flexible tensor approach to computing the effect of a time-dependent tidal field acting on a stellar system. The tidal forces are recovered from the tensor b…
Local-Group tests of dark-matter Concordance Cosmology: Towards a new paradigm for structure formation
P. Kroupa, B. Famaey, K. S. de Boer +7
(abridged) Predictions of the Concordance Cosmological Model (CCM) of the structures in the environment of large spiral galaxies are compared with observed properties of Local Grou…
Satellite survival in cold dark matter cosmology
C. M. Boily, N. Nakastao, R. Spurzem +1
We study the survival of substructures (clumps) within larger self-gravitating dark matter halos. Building on scaling relations obtained from N-body calculations of violent relaxat…
On the equilibrium morphology of systems drawn from spherical collapse experiments
C. M. Boily, E. Athanassoula
We present a purely theoretical study of the morphological evolution of self-gravitating systems formed through the dissipationless collapse of N-point sources. We explore the effe…
Scaling up Tides in Numerical Models of Galaxy- and Halo-Formation
C. M. Boily, E. Athanassoula, P. Kroupa
The purpose of this article is to show that when dynamically cold, dissipationless self-gravitating systems collapse, their evolution is a strong function of the symmetry in the in…
Efficient N-body Realisations of axisymmetric Galaxies and Haloes
C. M. Boily, P. Kroupa, J. Penarrubia-Garrido
We present an efficient method for building equilibrium multi-component galaxies with non-spherical haloes and bulges. The gist of our approach is to tailor the velocity ellipsoid…
