Impact of the Galactic bar on tidal streams within the Galactic disc: The case of the tidal stream of the Hyades
Guillaume F. Thomas, Benoit Famaey, Giacomo Monari +5
Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are routinely detected in the halo of the Milky Way. It was recently shown that tidal streams of open clusters can now also be detected within t…
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.…
Low-Velocity Streams in the Solar Neighborhood Caused by the Galactic Bar
I. Minchev, C. Boily, A. Siebert +1
We find that a steady state bar induces transient features at low velocities in the solar neighborhood velocity distribution due to the initial response of the disc, following the…
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…
On time-dependent orbital complexity in gravitational N-body simulations
N. T. Faber, C. M. Boily, S. Portegies Zwart
We implement an efficient method to quantify time-dependent orbital complexity in gravitational -body simulations. The technique, which we name DWaTIM, is based on a discrete wa…
The M/L ratio of massive young clusters
C. M. Boily, A. Lacon, S. Deiters +1
We point out a strong time-evolution of the mass-to-light conversion factor ηcommonly used to estimate masses of dense star clusters from observed cluster radii and stellar velocit…
