Gas dynamics in tidal dwarf galaxies : disc formation at z=0
(2015-12)
Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are recycled objects that form within the collisional debris of interacting/merging galaxies. They are expected to be devoid of non-baryonic dark matter, since they can form only from dissipative ...
Studying the spatially resolved Schmidt-Kennicutt law in interacting galaxies : The case of Arp 158
(2011-09)
Context. Recent studies have shown that star formation in mergers does not seem to follow the same Schmidt-Kennicutt relation as in spiral disks, presenting a higher star formation rate (SFR) for a given gas column density. ...
