The Signature of Galactic Tides in Local Group Dwarf Spheroidals
Jorge Penarrubia, Julio F. Navarro, Alan W. McConnachie +1
(Abridged) We use N-body simulations to explore the effects of tidal stripping on the structure of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). We model dSphs as King spheres embedded in NFW…

The Tidal Evolution of Local Group Dwarf Spheroidals
Jorge Penarrubia, Julio F. Navarro, Alan W. McConnachie
(Abridged) We use N-body simulations to study the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) driven by galactic tides. We adopt a cosmologically-motivated model where dSphs are…
