We present the results of a study of the average mass profile around galaxies using weak gravitational lensing. We use 45.5 deg^2 of R_C band imaging data from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) and define a sample of 1.2\times 10^5…

Using the GAEA semi-analytic model, we analyse the connection between Damped Lyman-$\alpha$ systems (DLAs) and HI in galaxies. Our state-of-the-art semi-analytic model is tuned to reproduce the local galaxy HI mass function, and that also…

This study presents the mass distribution for a sample of 18 late-type galaxies in nine Hickson Compact Groups. We used rotation curves from high resolution 2D velocity fields of Fabry-Perot observations and J-band photometry from the 2MASS…

The analytical phase-space distribution function (DF) of spherical self--consistent galaxy (or cluster) models, embedded in a dark matter halo, where both density distributions follow the Hernquist profile, with different total masses and…

We derive the oblateness parameter q of the dark matter halo of a sample of gas rich, face-on disk galaxies. We have assumed that the halos are triaxial in shape but their axes in the disk plane (a and b) are equal, so that q=c/a measures…

Resolved rotation curves (RCs) are our best probe of the dark matter distribution around individual galaxies. However their acquisition is resource-intensive, rendering them impractical for large-scale surveys and studies at higher…

Halo stars orbit within the potential of the Milky Way and hence their kinematics can be used to understand the underlying mass distribution. However, the inferred mass distribution depends sensitively upon assumptions made on the density…

We have obtained spectra of three QSO/AGNs with the GHRS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to search for absorption from low column density gas in the halo of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy Leo I. The probe sightlines pass 2.1, 3.7, and…

The distribution of cold gas in dark matter haloes is driven by key processes in galaxy formation: gas cooling, galaxy mergers, star formation and reheating of gas by supernovae. We compare the predictions of four different galaxy formation…

We derive the pairwise peculiar velocity distribution function of dark matter particles applying the dark matter halo approach. Unlike the previous work, we do not assume a Gaussian velocity distribution function of dark matter in a single…

Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments usually assume the simplest possible 'Standard Halo Model' for the Milky Way (MW) halo in which the velocity distribution is Maxwellian. This model assumes that the MW halo is an isotropic,…

Study the ionized gas in metal-poor environments is key to understanding the mechanisms regulating galaxy evolution. However, most of the previous studies of extragalactic HII regions rely on unresolved observations of gaseous structures.…

[Abridged] We study the abundance and clustering properties of HI at redshifts $z\leqslant5$ using TNG100, a large state-of-the-art magneto-hydrodynamic simulation of a 75 Mpc/h box size. We show that most of the HI lies within dark matter…

This paper investigates spheroidal galaxies comprising a self-interacting dark matter halo (SIDM) plus de Vaucouleurs stellar distribution. These are coupled only via their shared gravitational field, which is computed consistently from the…

We set constraints on the dark matter halo mass and concentration of ~22,000 individual galaxies visible both in HI (from the ALFALFA survey) and optical light (from the SDSS). This is achieved by combining two Bayesian models, one for the…

We introduce a mass dependent density profile to describe the distribution of dark matter within galaxies, which takes into account the stellar-to-halo mass dependence of the response of dark matter to baryonic processes. The study is based…
