- Abstract
We present detailed numerical simulations of the evolution of Tidal
Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs) after they kinematically decouple from the rest of
the tidal arm to investigate their survivability. Both the short-term
(500 Myr) response of TDGs to the stellar feedback of different
underlying stellar populations as well as the long-term evolution that
is dominated by a time dependent tidal field is examined. All simulated
TDGs survive until the end of the simulation time of up to 3 Gyr,
despite their lack of a stabilising dark matter component.
