The 20 pages that link to Tidal interaction, each with the reason it gives.

• Galaxy mergerRelated: Uneven gravity pulls stars and gas into tails, bridges, and distorted shapes.

• Hot JupiterRelated: Tides can alter a hot Jupiter’s orbit and synchronize its rotation.

• Large Magellanic CloudRelated: Milky Way gravity distorts the Large Magellanic Cloud and removes some of its material.

• Density wave theoryRelated: A companion galaxy can drive spiral structure without requiring a freely sustained wave.

• Small Magellanic CloudRelated: Tidal forces have pulled gas and stars from the galaxy into surrounding structures.

• Galaxy harassmentRelated: Repeated tidal perturbations heat stellar orbits and remove loosely bound material.

• Spiral armRelated: A companion galaxy can induce or strengthen spiral arms through tidal forces.

• Centaurus ARelated: Past interactions may have disturbed Centaurus A’s gas and contributed to its irregular central structure.

• Irregular galaxyRelated: Tidal forces can stretch irregular galaxies and pull out streams of gas and stars.

• Magellanic CloudsRelated: Mutual and Milky Way tides shape the Clouds and draw out their debris.

• Grand-design spiral galaxyRelated: Tidal forces can generate or reinforce a coherent spiral pattern.

• Planetary systemRelated: Tides can alter rotations, orbits, and the internal heating of system members.

• Ultraluminous infrared galaxyRelated: Tidal forces can funnel gas inward and help initiate a ULIRG phase.

• Messier 81Related: Interactions among M81 Group galaxies have drawn out gas and stellar material.

• Pinwheel GalaxyRelated: Interactions with nearby companions may contribute to the Pinwheel’s lopsided structure.

• Future of EarthRelated: Tidal forces between Earth and the expanding Sun could counteract orbital widening from solar mass loss.

• Magellanic spiralRelated: Interactions can produce asymmetric arms and may contribute to Magellanic-like structure.

• Starburst regionRelated: Tidal forces can reshape galaxies and promote gas inflow without a completed merger.
