The importance of tides for the Local Group dwarf spheroidals
J. I. Read, M. I. Wilkinson, N. Wyn Evans +2
There are two main tidal effects which can act on the Local Group dwarf spheroidals (dSphs): tidal stripping and tidal shocking. Using N-body simulations, we show that tidal stripp…

The tidal stripping of satellites
J. I. Read, M. I. Wilkinson, N. W. Evans +2
We present an improved analytic calculation for the tidal radius of satellites and test our results against N-body simulations. The tidal radius in general depends upon four factor…
