... Galactic satellites and streams should be regarded together тАУ satellites result from low-mass substructures while tidalstreams trace the disruption of these substructures by the host's gravitational potential. ...
... LDR 33 appears slightly asymmetric, and seems to have broad tidalstreams similar to (but much weaker than) those in LDR 20. ... Several broad streams of tidal debris are visible. ...
... 2003). 6 3. The morphology of the ICL between M87 and M86 is `diffuse'; it is mostly not in tidal tails or streams (Mihos et al., 2 0 0 5 ). 4. ...
... As one slices through the other, both are disrupted. The tidal forces of gravity produce long tails of material streaming away from the collision. ...
... A related scenario is the tidal stripping and further accretion of low-metallicity gas from dwarf irregular companions, which in the case of the Magellanic Stream is directly observed (Matthewson et al. ...
... as two spiral galaxies swung past each other on their first close encounter, throwing off huge streamers of gas and stars ... the image allows these compact star clusters to be easily seen, both around the progenitor nuclei and also in the tidal tails ...
