Tides or dark matter sub-halos: Which ones are more attractive?
Sylvia Ploeckinger
Young tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are observed in the tidal debris of gas-rich interacting galaxies. In contrast to what is generally assumed to be the case for isolated dwarf gala…

Star-formation properties of Hickson Compact Groups based on deep Hα imaging
Paul Eigenthaler, Sylvia Ploeckinger, Miguel Verdugo +1
We present deep Hα imaging of seven Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs) using the 4.1m Southern Astrophysics Research (SOAR) Telescope. The high spatial resolution of the observations al…

The mass-metallicity relation of tidal dwarf galaxies
S. Recchi, P. Kroupa, S. Ploeckinger
Dwarf galaxies generally follow a mass-metallicity (MZ) relation, where more massive objects retain a larger fraction of heavy elements. Young tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs), born in…
