Star formation losses due to tidal debris in `hierarchical' galaxy formation
Bottom-up hierarchical formation of dark matter haloes is not as monotonic as implicitly assumed in the Press-Schechter formalism: matter can be ejected into tidal tails, shells or low density `atmospheres'. The implications that the possible truncation of star formation in these tidal `debris&...
