Slow evolution of elliptical galaxies induced by dynamical friction III. Role of density concentration and pressure anisotropy
S. E. Arena, G. Bertin
In this paper we study the infall, by dynamical friction, of rigid "satellites" taken in a variety of initial configurations and models. We thus measure how dynamical friction depe…

Slow evolution of elliptical galaxies induced by dynamical friction
S. E. Arena, G. Bertin, T. Liseikina +1
Many astrophysical problems, ranging from structure formation in cosmology to dynamics of elliptical galaxies, refer to slow processes of evolution of essentially collisionless sel…
