The Influence of Ram Pressure on the Evolution of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
R. Smith, P. A. Duc, G. N. Candlish +3
The formation mechanism of tidal dwarf galaxies means they are expected to contain little or no dark matter. As such, they might be expected to be very sensitive to their environme…
The impact of galaxy harassment on the globular cluster systems of early-type cluster dwarf galaxies
Rory Smith, Ruben Sanchez-Janssen, Michael Fellhauer +3
The dynamics of globular cluster systems (GCSs) around galaxies are often used to assess the total enclosed mass, and even to constrain the dark matter distribution. The globular c…
Numerical modelling of Auriga's Wheel - a new ring galaxy
Rory Smith, Richard R. Lane, Blair C. Conn +1
We model the formation of Auriga's Wheel - a recently discovered collisional ring galaxy. Auriga's Wheel has a number of interesting features including a bridge of stars linking th…
Ram pressure drag - the effects of ram pressure on dark matter and stellar disk dynamics
R. Smith, M. Fellhauer, P. Assmann
We investigate the effects of ram pressure stripping on gas-rich disk galaxies in the cluster environment. Ram pressure stripping principally effects the atomic gas in disk galaxie…
A parametric study on the formation of extended star clusters and ultra-compact dwarf galaxies
R. C. Bruens, P. Kroupa, M. Fellhauer +2
In the last decade, extended stellar clusters with masses in the range from a few 10^4 to 10^8 M_sun have been found in various types of galaxies in different environments. Objects…
Mass-loss and expansion of ultra compact dwarf galaxies through gas expulsion and stellar evolution for top-heavy stellar initial mass functions
J. Dabringhausen, M. Fellhauer, P. Kroupa
(abridged) The dynamical V-band mass-to-light ratios of ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are higher than predicted by simple stellar population models with the canonical stellar…
