Enhanced star formation in interacting galaxies: how far does it reach?

Enhanced star formation in interacting galaxies: how far does it reach?

by Lucia Morganti | May 17, 2013 | Daily Paper Summaries

Star formation is enhanced when two galaxies interact or merge. But what is the orbital extent of enhanced star formation in interacting galaxies? At which projected separation of the two galaxies does it disappear?

The mass assembly of Milky Way-like galaxies

The mass assembly of Milky Way-like galaxies

by Lucia Morganti | Apr 12, 2013 | Daily Paper Summaries

The central question of this Letter is how and when the Milky Way assembled its stellar mass. This issue is addressed by tracing the formation history of spiral galaxies which closely resemble the Milky Way.

Tidal tails of dwarf galaxies on different orbits around the Milky Way

Tidal tails of dwarf galaxies on different orbits around the Milky Way

by Lucia Morganti | Feb 22, 2013 | Daily Paper Summaries

A phenomenological series of simulations of dwarf galaxies placed on different orbits around a Milky Way-like galaxy, in order to learn about the properties (and observability) of tidal tails in dwarf galaxies around our Milky Way.
