Deviations from the radial acceleration relation in the central galaxies of clusters, subclusters, and groups

Michal Bílek, Florent Renaud, Srdjan Samurović

Most galaxies closely follow the radial acceleration relation (RAR), which tightly links the observed accelerations to those predicted by Newtonian gravity from visible baryonic ma…

Pearls on a string: Dark and bright galaxies on a strikingly straight and narrow filament

Maryam Arabsalmani, Sambit Roychowdhury, Benjamin Schneider +11

We identify a chain of galaxies along an almost straight line in the nearby Universe with a projected length of ~5 Mpc. The galaxies are distributed within projected distances of o…

Simulating nearby disc galaxies on the main star formation sequence I. Bar formation and the building of the central gas reservoir

Pierrick Verwilghen, Eric Emsellem, Florent Renaud +14

Past studies have long emphasised the key role played by galactic stellar bars in the context of disc secular evolution, via the redistribution of gas and stars, the triggering of…

Fully compressive tides in galaxy mergers

Florent Renaud, Christian Boily, Thorsten Naab +1

The disruptive effect of galactic tides is a textbook example of gravitational dynamics. However, depending on the shape of the potential, tides can also become fully compressive.…

Star cluster survival and compressive tides in Antennae-like mergers

F. Renaud, C. M. Boily, J. -J. Fleck +2

Gravitational tides are widely understood to strip and destroy galactic substructures. In the course of a galaxy merger, however, transient totally compressive tides may develop an…
