The 12 pages that link to Tidal tail, each with the reason it gives.

• Galaxy interactionBroader topic: These tails are visible evidence of material stripped during an encounter.

• Stellar streamRelated: The term often describes debris from interacting galaxies, while stellar stream commonly denotes a narrower stellar structure.

• Galaxy harassmentBroader topic: Strong encounters can produce stellar debris that traces the gravitational disturbance.

• Antennae GalaxiesBroader topic: The Antennae’s two prominent tails give the pair its name.

• Tidal dwarf galaxyRelated: Tidal dwarfs commonly form as dense condensations within these stripped streams.

• Magellanic BridgeNarrower topic: The Bridge is a nearby example of tidal debris linking interacting galaxies.

• Arp 220Related: Arp 220’s disturbed outer structure records the tidal forces of its progenitor galaxies.

• M81 GroupRelated: Tidal tails and bridges trace material drawn between interacting group members.

• Messier 82Related: Tidal structures around the M81 system record the encounter involving M82.

• Peculiar galaxyBroader topic: Tidal tails are visible signatures of strong interactions behind many peculiar forms.

• Interacting galaxyBroader topic: Tidal tails are visible traces of the forces exerted during a galactic encounter.

• Intergalactic starBroader topic: Tidal tails are visible structures through which stars can be dispersed beyond their former galaxy.
