We investigate the stability of circular material orbits in the analytic galactic metric recently derived by Harko \textit{et al.} (2014). It turnsout that stability depends more strongly on the dark matter central density $%\rho_{0}$ than…

Observations show that the underlying rotation curves at intermediate radii in spiral and low-surface brightness galaxies are nearly universal. Further, in these same galaxies, the product of the central density and the core radius…
We examine the global stability of an exponential stellar disk embedded in a dark matter halo and constrain the mass-to-light ratio of observed disks in the I-band, Y_I. Assuming only that the radial surface density distribution of disks is…

The disparity between the density profiles of galactic dark matter haloes predicted by dark matter only cosmological simulations and those inferred from rotation curve decomposition, the so-called cusp-core problem, suggests that baryonic…
The distribution of dark matter around galactic or cluster halos has usually been assumed to be approximately isothermal with a non-zero core radius, which is expected to be of the order of the size of the visible matter distribution.…
A test particle possessing spin angular momentum moves along a non-geodesic path due to an additional spin-curvature force. We study the spinning test particle moving in the vicinity of the electrically charged black hole formation in…
If massive black holes constitute the dark matter in the halo surrounding the Milky Way, the existence of low mass globular clusters in the halo suggests an upper limit to their mass, $M_{_{BH}}$. We use a combination of the impulse…
We assess the constraints imposed by the observed extragalactic background light (EBL) on the cosmic history of star formation and the stellar mass density today. The logarithmic slope of the galaxy number-magnitude relation from the…
Using the approach of autonomous Hamiltonian dynamical system, we attempt to estimate the as yet unknown upper limit on the size of the galactic halo surrounding galaxies (lenses). The key to determine the size of the halo is to determine…
