The Effect of Tidal Stripping on Composite Stellar Populations in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
We use N-body simulations to study the effects of tides on the kinematical structure of satellite galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like potential. Here we focus on the evolution of a spherical, dark matter dominated satellite, which is modelled with two stellar components set ab initio to be spatially...
