Dynamics of Stellar Disk Tilting from Satellite Mergers

The Milky Way’s stellar disc can tilt in response to torques that result from infalling satellite galaxies and their associated tidal debris. In this work, we explore the dynamics of disc tilting by running N-body simulations of mergers in an isolated, isotropic Milky Way-like host galaxy, varying o...
