Non-equilibrium in the Solar Neighbourhood using dynamical modelling with Gaia DR2
Rain Kipper, Peeter Tenjes, Elmo Tempel +1
Matter distribution models of the Milky Way galaxy are usually stationary, although there are known to be wave-like perturbations in the disc at level of the total densi…
The role of stochastic and smooth processes in regulating galaxy quenching
Rain Kipper, Antti Tamm, Elmo Tempel +2
Galaxies can be classified as passive ellipticals or star-forming discs. Ellipticals dominate at the high end of the mass range, and therefore there must be a mechanism responsible…
Brightest Cluster Galaxies: the centre can(not?) hold
Roberto De Propris, Michael J. West, Felipe Andrade-Santos +9
We explore the persistence of the alignment of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with their local environment. We find that a significant fraction of BCGs do not coincide with the…
Tidal forces from the wake of dynamical friction: warps, lopsidedness and kinematic misalignment
Rain Kipper, María Benito, Peeter Tenjes +2
A galaxy moving through a background of dark matter particles, induces an overdensity of these particles or a wake behind it. The back reaction of this wake on the galaxy is a forc…
Quantifying torque from the Milky Way bar using Gaia DR2
Rain Kipper, Peeter Tenjes, Taavi Tuvikene +2
We determine the mass of the Milky Way bar and the torque it causes, using Gaia DR2, by applying the orbital arc method. Based on this, we have found that the gravitational acceler…
The influence of dark matter halo on the stellar stream asymmetry via dynamical friction
Rain Kipper, Peeter Tenjes, Gert Hütsi +2
We study the effect of dynamical friction on globular clusters and on the stars evaporated from the globular clusters (stellar streams) moving in a galactic halo. Due to dynamical…
