%0 Journal Article %T Simulations on the survivability of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies %A Sylvia Ploeckinger %A Simone Recchi %A Gerhard Hensler %A Pavel Kroupa %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.1017/S1743921314009533 %X 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. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.1530v1
