Satellite galaxies endure powerful environmental tidal forces that drive mass stripping of their outer regions. Consequently, satellites located in central regions of galaxy clusters or groups, where the tidal field is strongest, are…

In order to explore how the early internal rotational properties of star clusters are affected by the external potential of their host galaxies, we have run a suite of $N$-body simulations following the early dynamical evolution and violent…

Stars that plunge into the center of a galaxy are tidally perturbed by a supermassive black hole (SMBH), with closer encounters resulting in larger perturbations. Exciting these tides comes at the expense of the star's orbital energy, which…
