Recently, a class of non-truncated radially-anisotropic models (the so-called $f^{(\nu)}$-models), originally constructed in the context of violent relaxation and modeling of elliptical galaxies, has been found to possess interesting…

Astrophysical fluid bodies that orbit close to one another induce tidal distortions and flows that are subject to dissipative processes. The spin and orbital motions undergo a coupled evolution over astronomical timescales, which is…

Tidal torques can alter the spins of tidally interacting stars and planets, usually over shorter timescales than the tidal damping of orbital separations or eccentricities. Simple tidal models predict that, in eccentric binary or planetary…

We investigate two possible effects of the tidal field induced by a spherical cluster on its elliptical galaxy members: the modification of the ellipticity of a spherical galaxy and the isophotal alignment in the cluster radial direction of…

We present preliminary results on a new family of distribution functions that are able to generate axisymmetric, truncated (i.e., finite size) stellar dynamical models characterized by toroidal shapes. The relevant distribution functions…

The tidally tilted pulsators are a new type of oscillating star in close binary systems that have their pulsation axis in the orbital plane because of the tidal distortion caused by their companion. We describe this group of stars on the…

We report a direct observational evidence for the existence of the galaxy spin alignments with the real space tidal field. We calculate the real space tidal field from the real space density field reconstructed recently from the Two Mass…

Tidal Downsizing (TD) is a recently developed planet formation theory that supplements the classical Gravitational disc Instability (GI) model with planet migration inward and tidal disruptions of GI fragments in the inner regions of the…

We develop a fully relativistic approach for determining the response of a compact star to a time/frequency dependent (tidal) environment. The strategy involves matching the solution for the linearised fluid dynamics in the star's interior…

Based on our recent work on tidal tails of star clusters (Kuepper et al. 2009) we investigate star clusters of a few 10^4 Msun by means of velocity dispersion profiles and surface density profiles. We use a comprehensive set of $N$-body…

We present here in full details the linear secular theory with tidal damping that was used to constraint the fit of the HD10180 planetary system in (Lovis et al. 2011). The theory is very general and can provide some intuitive understanding…

We show how clustering as a general hierarchical dynamical process proceeds via a sequence of inverse cascades to produce self-similar scaling, as an intermediate asymptotic, which then truncates at the largest spatial scales. We show how…

We study correlations in spatial orientation between galaxy clusters and their host superclusters using a Hubble Volume N-body realization of a concordance cosmology and an analytic model for tidally-induced alignments. We derive an…

We study the mean tidal coherence of galaxy environments as a function of intrinsic luminosity determined by the absolute $r$-band magnitude. The tidal coherence of a galaxy environment is estimated as the cosine of the angle between two…

The structure of globular clusters and elliptical galaxies are described in an unified way through a new class of lowered models inspired on the nonextensive kinetic theory. These power law models are specified by a single parameter q which…

We discuss the possibility to analyze the problem of gravothermal catastrophe in a new way, by obtaining thermodynamical equations to apply to a selfgravitating system. By using the King distribution function in the framework of statistical…

We look for evidence of tidal stripping in elliptical galaxies through the analysis of homogeneous CCD data corresponding to a sample of 228 elliptical galaxies belonging to 24 clusters of galaxies at $0.015<z<0.080$. We investigate…

We present N-body simulations of dissolving star clusters close to galactic centres. For this purpose, we developed a new N-body program called nbody6gc based on Aarseth's series of N-body codes. We describe the algorithm in detail. We…

We study the response of star clusters to individual tidal perturbations using controlled $N$-body simulations. We consider perturbations by a moving point mass and by a disc, and vary the duration of the perturbation as well as the cluster…

We investigate analytically a large-scale coherence in the orientation of galaxies embedded in two-dimensional sheet-like structures in the frame of the tidal torque theory. Assuming that the galaxy spin and the surrounding matter fields…
