Intergalactic recycling: the formation of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
• without self-gravity • without gas dissipation
The proto-TDGs are still formed!
Their origin is fundamentally kinematical; only later self-gravity takes over, and the clouds collapse

Intergalactic recycling: the formation of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
According to the shape of the tidal field, matter from the external disk is either diluted or transported keeping its original surface brightness. This creates a density enhancement at the origin of the proto-TDGs

ConclusionsConclusions
All material available to fuel intergalactic star-formation:Stripped, pre-enriched HI, transformed into H2 and stars
“Recycled” gravitationally bound objects formed out of tidal debris around interacting systems and mergers
Observations and simulations: two types of tidal objects, with different physical origins:
• 106 - 108 Mo, distributed all along the tails, progenitors of Super Star Clusters and/or Globular Clusters, formed from growing local gravitational instabilities
• 109 Mo, at or near the tip of tidal tails, progenitors of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, with a kinematical origin, formed within extended Dark Matter haloes, according to a top-down scenario
