Modeling the Structure and Dynamics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with Dark Matter and Tides
Modeling the Structure and Dynamics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with Dark Matter and Tides
We report the results of N-body simulations of disrupting satellites aimed at exploring whether the observed features of dSphs can be accounted for with simple, mass-follows-light (MFL) models including tidal disruption. As a test case, we focus on the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph), which presently is the dSph system with …
