Formation and Evolution of sub-structures in tidal tails: Spherical dark
  matter haloes
  Recently a theory about the formation of over-densities of stars along tidal
tails of globular clusters has been presented, this theory predicts the
position and time of formation of such over-densities and was successfully
tested with N-body simulations of globular clusters in a point mass galactic
potential. In this work we present a comparison between this theory and our
simulations using a dwarf galaxy orbiting two differently shaped dark matter
halos to study the effects of a cored and a cuspy halo on the formation and
evolution of tidal tails. We find no difference using a cuspy or a cored halo,
however, we find an intriguing asymmetry between the leading and trailing arm
of the tidal tails. The trailing arm grows faster than the leading arm. This
asymmetry is seen in the distance to first over-density and its size as well.
We establish a relation between the distance to the first over-density and the
size of this over-density.
