Tidal Dwarf Galaxies: Ghosts from Structure Formation

In the early universe, gas-rich galaxy–galaxy encounters were very frequent. During these, gaseous tidal tails expand outwards and are computed and observed to fragment 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. If you are interested in attending, please register at our » registration page. The deadline for registration is February 28th 2009. For e-mail contact please use tdgbonn (at) astro.uni-bonn.de.
