Tides in colliding galaxies
Pierre-Alain Duc, Florent Renaud
Long tails and streams of stars are the most noticeable upshots of galaxy collisions. Their origin as gravitational, tidal, disturbances has however been recognized only less than…
Models of Stephan's Quintet: Hydrodynamic Constraints on the Group's Evolution
Jeong-Sun Hwang, Curtis Struck, Florent Renaud +1
We present smoothed particle hydrodynamic models of the interactions in the compact galaxy group, Stephan's Quintet. This work is extension of the earlier collisionless N-body simu…
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…
