Revisiting Stephan's Quintet with deep optical images
Pierre-Alain Duc, Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Florent Renaud
Stephan's Quintet, a compact group of galaxies, is often used as a laboratory to study a number of phenomena, including physical processes in the interstellar medium, star formatio…
Morphology and enhanced star formation in a Cartwheel-like ring galaxy
F. Renaud, E. Athanassoula, P. Amram +8
We use hydrodynamical simulations of a Cartwheel-like ring galaxy, modelled as a nearly head-on collision of a small companion with a larger disc galaxy, to probe the evolution of…
Stellar streams as gravitational experiments II. Asymmetric tails of globular cluster streams
Guillaume F. Thomas, Benoit Famaey, Rodrigo Ibata +3
Kinematically cold tidal streams of globular clusters (GC) are excellent tracers of the Galactic gravitational potential at moderate Galactocentric distances, and can also be used…
