A Sagittarius-like simulated dwarf spheroidal galaxy from TNG50
Ewa L. Łokas
Abstract:The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy provides one of the most convincing examples of tidal
interaction between satellite galaxies and the Milky Way (MW). The main body of the dwarf was recently demonstrated to
have an elongated, prolate, bar-like shape and to possess some internal rotation. Whether these features are temporary
