The tidal tails of Milky Way globular clusters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 We report on the search for overall kinematical or structural conditions that have allowed some Milky Way globular clusters to develop tidal tails. For this purpose, we built a comprehensive catalog of globular clusters with studies focused on their ...

On the structure of tidal tails [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008 We examine the longitudinal distribution of the stars escaping from a cluster along tidal tails. Using both theory and simulations, we show that, even in the case of a star cluster in a circular galactic orbit, when the tide is steady, the distribution ...

Searching for tidal tails - investigating galaxy harassment [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005 Galaxy harassment has been proposed as a physical process that morphologically transforms low surface density disc galaxies into dwarf elliptical galaxies in clusters.

Degree of stochastic asymmetry in the tidal tails of star clusters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 Context: Tidal tails of star clusters are commonly understood to be populated symmetrically. Recently, the analysis of Gaia data revealed large asymmetries between the leading and trailing tidal tail arms of the four open star clusters Hyades, Praesepe ...

FAST discovery of long tidal tails in NGC 4490/85 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We report the discovery of a 100 kpc H i tail in the merging galaxy pair NGC 4490/85 detected by the Five-Hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The tidal tails extended in both the south and north directions, and they are much longer

The dual nature of the tidal tails of NGC 5904 (M5) [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2023 The tangential velocity dispersion of stars belonging to the Milky Way globular cluster’s tidal tails has recently been found from N-body simulations to be a parameter that distinguishes between cored and cuspy profiles of low-mass dwarf galaxy dark ...

Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified around 13 Milky Way analogs in the FIRE-2 simulations to streams observed ...

TIDAL TAILS OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2002 We present N-body simulations of globular clusters including gravitational field of the Galaxy, in order to study effects of tidal field systematically on the shape of outer parts of globular clusters using NBODY6. The Galaxy is assumed to be composed of central bulge and outer halo.

A Gaia EDR3 search for tidal tails in disintegrating open clusters [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 We carry out a search for tidal tails in a sample of open clusters with known relatively elongated morphology. We identify the member stars of these clusters from the precise astrometric and deep photometric data from Gaia Early Data Release 3 using ...
