Scientific paper

We investigate the formation of tidal dwarf galaxies in mergers of spiral galaxies. High resolution simulations of mergers have been run to investigate the formation of structure in the tidal arms of the merger remnant. We determine a set of properties for the bound objects detected in the tidal arms. We also compare mergers with mass ratios of 1:1 to those with 3:1.
