Galaxy interactions expel a significant amount of stars and gas into the surrounding environment. I review the formation and evolution of the tidal debris spawned during these collisions, and describe how this evolution depends on the large scale environment in which the galaxies live. In addition to acting as a long-lived tracer of the interaction history of galaxies, the evolution of this material -- on both large scales and small -- has important ramifications for galactic recycling processes, the feeding of the intracluster light and intracluster medium within galaxy clusters, and the delayed formation of galactic disks and dwarf galaxies.

  1. FEASTS: The Fate of Gas and Star Formation in Interacting Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Interacting galaxies show more disordered, extended HI gas, and smaller companions with more gas disorder have lower gas content and suppressed star formation.

  2. Structural and dynamical properties of Tidal dwarf galaxies in the tails and bridge of the Guitar galaxy Arp 105

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    AstroSat FUV plus archival multi-wavelength data show Arp 105's tidal dwarfs have young in-situ starbursts over old stripped stellar populations and dynamical-to-baryonic mass ratios near 1-2, implying little dark matter.

  3. Tidal Structures Around Edge-On Galaxies in Deep Imaging Surveys

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    About 6% of edge-on disk galaxies in DESI Legacy and Pan-STARRS imaging show tidal features at r-band surface brightness of 28.6 mag/arcsec², consistent with recent TNG50 simulations.

  4. 2D light distributions of dwarf galaxies -- key tests of the implementation of physical processes in simulations

    astro-ph.GA 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    NewHorizon simulated dwarf galaxies are systematically more extended, lower surface brightness, and bluer than Fornax cluster dwarfs of the same stellar mass, even when measured with the same 2D photometric pipeline.
