The study of satellite galaxies can provide information on the merging and aggregation processes which, according to the hierarchical clustering models, form the larger spiral galaxies we observe. With the aim of testing hierarchical models…

In this second paper dedicated to the study of satellite galaxies we present broad-band photometry in the B, V, R and I filters of 49 satellite galaxies orbiting giant isolated spiral galaxies. First analysis of the properties of these…

We have studied the radial distribution of the early (E/S0) and late (S/Irr) types of satellites around bright host galaxies. We made a volume-limited sample of 4,986 satellites brighter than M_r = -18.0 associated with 2,254 hosts brighter…

We are analyzing a sample of closeby galaxy systems, each comprising a bright isolated spiral and its satellites. We find an excess (56%) of prograde satellites over retrograde, which basically holds for all angular displacements from the…

We present preliminary results from a series of high-resolution N-body simulations that focus on 8 dark matter halos each of order a million particles within the virial radius. We follow the time evolution of hundreds of individually…

The environmental dependence of the morphology of dwarf galaxies in isolated satellite systems is analyzed to understand the origin of the dwarf galaxy morphology using the visually classified morphological types of 5836 local galaxies with…

We study the evolution of dark matter satellites orbiting inside more massive haloes using semi-analytical tools coupled with high-resolution N-Body simulations. We select initial satellite sizes, masses, orbital energies, and…

We present a revised and expanded catalog of satellite galaxies of a set of isolated spiral galaxies similar in luminosity to the Milky Way. This sample of 115 satellites, 69 of which were discovered in our multifiber redshift survey, is…

We present B and I band photometry, gas and star kinematics and 3D modelling of 7 giant spiral galaxies. The stellar systems studied have morphological types spanning from S0/a to Sc and absolute magnitudes from -20.6 to -22.5. The spectra…

We have conducted an observing campaign with FORS at the ESO-VLT to explore the kinematical properties of spiral galaxies in distant galaxy clusters. Our main goal is to analyse transformation- and interaction processes of disk galaxies…

How do galaxies move relative to one another? While we can examine the motion of dark matter subhalos around their hosts in simulations of structure formation, determining the orbits of satellites around their parent galaxies from…

Planetary satellites are an integral part of the heirarchy of planetary systems. Here we make two predictions concerning their formation. First, primordial satellites, which have an array of distinguishing characteristics, form only around…

We analyse distribution, kinematics and star-formation (SF) properties of satellite galaxies in three different samples of nearby groups. We find that studied groups are generally well approximated by low-concentration NFW model, show a…

Satellites around large asteroids are preferentially found among those with the most rapid rotation and elongated shape. The taxonomic statistics are similarly skewed; in total, 13 asteroids larger than 100 km are known to have satellites,…

All four giant planets in the Solar system possess irregular satellites, characterized by large, highly eccentric and/or inclined orbits that are distinct from the nearly circular, uninclined orbits of the regular satellites. This…

This is the second of two papers based on a systematic multi-wavelength (X, B, H, 12$\mu$m, FIR, 6cm) statistical analysis of the {\it Einstein Observatory Galaxy Catalog} sample of 234 `normal' S0/a-Irr galaxies. This sample is…

In recent years, multiple plane structures of satellite galaxies have been identified in the nearby universe, although their formation mechanisms remain unclear. In this work, we employ the TNG50-1 numerical simulation to classify satellite…

Observationally, the fraction of blue satellite galaxies decreases steeply with host halo mass, and their radial distribution around central galaxies is significantly shallower in massive (M_* >10e11M_sun) than in Milky Way like systems.…

We analyze the angular distribution and the orbital rotation directions of a sample of carefully-selected satellite galaxies extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We also study these statistics in an N-body simulation of…

We examine a possible connection between the anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies around giant spiral galaxies and the evolution of satellite systems. The observed polar anisotropy (Zaritsky et al.1997) is either imprinted by…
