N-body/SPH study of the evolution of dwarf galaxies in a cluster environment
Dolf Michielsen, Sven De Rijcke, Herwig Dejonghe
Using an N-body/SPH code, we explore the scenario in which a dwarf elliptical galaxy (dE) is subjected to ram-pressure stripping due to the intracluster medium (ICM). Our simulatio…

The dynamics of the dE galaxy FS76 : bridging the kinematic dichotomy between Es and dEs
S. De Rijcke, H. Dejonghe, W. W. Zeilinger +1
We present major and minor axis kinematics out to 2 half-light radii for the bright (M_B=-16.7) dwarf elliptical FS76, a member of the NGC5044 group. Its velocity dispersion is 46…
