Tidal change in the energy of a spherical galaxy

Namboodiri, P. M. S; Kochhar, R. K (Royal Astronomical Society, 1990-03)

Tidal effects of a massive perturber on a satellite galaxy have been studied by numerical simulations. The model consists of a spherical satellite galaxy and a point-mass perturber and the encounter is non-penetrating. A ...
Tidal transfer of energy and angular momentum to spheroidal galaxies

Som Sunder, G; Kochhar, R. K; Alladin, S. M (Royal Astronomical Society, 1990-06)

The tidal transfer of energy and angular momentum to a spheriodal test galaxy is studied using tensor virial equations within the framework of impulse approximation. The tidally introduced angular momentum is always along ...
Tidally affected galaxies modelled as Maclaurin spheroids

Som Sunder, G; Kochhar, R. K; Alladin, S. M (Astronomical Society of Indian, 1989-12)

Tensor virial equations and impulse approximation are used to study the tidal transfer of energy and angular momentum to a test galaxy, modeled as a Maclaurin spheroid. It is shown that the fractional increase in kinetic ...
