More information on Tidal Dwarf Galaxies: Ghosts from Structure Formation
In the early universe, gas-rich galaxy–galaxy encounters were very frequent. Numerical simulations and observations demonstrate that in such encounters gaseous tidal tails formed that fragmented into dwarf-galaxy sized star-forming regions. The formation of such 'tidal-dwarf galaxies' (TDGs) may have been very frequent. This meeting is to address how common such TDGs may be, what they would look like and which properties they would have now. For e-mail contact please use tdgbonn (at) astro.uni-bonn.de.
