Abstract

We performed N-body simulations between Sagittarius dwarf galaxy and the Milky Way. The Sagittarius galaxy is modeled with two components: dark matter halo and stellar disc. The Milky Way is modeled with three components: dark matter halo, stellar disc and bulge. The goal of this work is to reproduce the bifurcations in the tidal tails and the physical properties of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. For it, we simulated the interaction of the progenitor of this galaxy with the Milky Way. Although bifurcations could be reproduced, the position and physical properties of Sagittarius remnant could not be obtained simultaneously.
