Evolution of stripped tidal dwarf galaxies forming due to a galaxy merger on three different orbits in a cluster (C0, C25, and C45). From top to bottom, we show gas mass Mgas, stellar mass M*, cluster-centric distance Dcluster, distance Dmerger to the galaxy merger remnant and stellar half-mass radius r*, 1/2 of the dwarfs. Open circles indicate that the dwarf is destroyed afterwards. The gray horizontal line in the second panel represents a resolution threshold of five stellar particles.
