Abstract

Our aim is to study the evolution of tidal dwarf galaxies. The firststep is to understand whether a model galaxy without Dark Matter cansustain the feedback of the ongoing star formation. We present testsof the evolution of models in which star formation efficiency,temperature threshold, initial distribution of gas and infall arevaried. We conclude that it is feasible to keep a fraction of gasbound for several hundreds of Myr and that the development of galacticwinds does not necessarily stop continuous star formation.
