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…
