Scientific paper

Recent numerical simulations show that in tidally interacting galaxies dMT/M sub T is approximately equal to dRT/R sub T, where MT and RT are, respectively, the mass and tidal radius of a test galaxy. A simple theory is presented to explain this result and is used to calculate MT and RT as functions of elapsed time. An observational test to distinguish between first- and second-order effects is suggested.
