Simulations on the survivability of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
  We present detailed numerical simulations of the evolution of Tidal Dwarf
Galaxies (TDGs) after they kinematically decouple from the rest of the tidal
arm to investigate their survivability. Both the short-term (500 Myr) response
of TDGs to the stellar feedback of different underlying stellar populations as
well as the long-term evolution that is dominated by a time dependent tidal
field is examined. All simulated TDGs survive until the end of the simulation
time of up to 3 Gyr, despite their lack of a stabilising dark matter component.
