Multi-wavelength techniques can probe the distribution and the physical properties of baryons and dark matter in galaxy clusters from the inner regions out to the peripheries. We present a full three-dimensional analysis combining strong…
We present the analysis of baryonic and non-baryonic matter distribution in a sample of ten nearby clusters (0.03<z<0.09) with temperatures between 4.7 and 9.4 keV. These galaxy clusters are studied in detail using X-ray data and global…
Several observational lines of evidence imply that a fraction of the dark matter in the Galaxy may be comprised of small cold clouds of molecular hydrogen. Such objects are difficult to detect because of their small size and low…
I present an overview of some of the recent advances in our understanding of the distribution and evolution of the ordinary, baryonic matter in the universe. Two observations that strongly suggest that most of the baryons seen at high…
The energy released from dark matter (DM) annihilation leads to additional ionization and heating of the intergalactic gas, impacting the hydrogen 21-cm signal during the cosmic dawn. The dark matter annihilation rate scales with its…
Microwave heating of methane hydrate is investigated with electrostatic molecular dynamics simulations by the SPC/E water model. The structure I of methane hydrate is constructed. When the methane hydrate with a density of 0.91…
Clusters of galaxies are self-gravitating systems of mass ~10^14-10^15 Msun. They consist of dark matter (~80 %), hot diffuse intracluster plasma (< 20 %) and a small fraction of stars, dust, and cold gas, mostly locked in galaxies. In most…
We present initial results from the "Ponos" zoom-in numerical simulations of dark matter substructures in massive ellipticals. Two very highly resolved dark matter halos with $M_{\rm vir}=1.2\times 10^{13}$ $M_{\odot}$ and $M_{\rm…
We have conducted a survey of Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope, obtaining spectra from 5.0-38.5um for 77 sources with 0.02<z <0.93. Observations of the pure rotational…
We have performed three-dimensional, non-LTE radiative transfer calculations for 12CO and 13CO lines, applying them to our high-resolution hydrodynamic models of the `torus' around a SMBH in an active galactic nucleus. The hydrodynamic…

We present a CSO and BIMA molecular line survey of the dense, quiescent molecular environment ahead of HH2. The molecular gas is cold, 13 K, and moderately dense, 3x10^5 cm^-3. A total of 14 species has been detected (including different…
Aims: We resolve the small-scale structure around the high-mass hot core region G351.77-0.54 to investigate its disk and fragmentation properties. Methods: Using ALMA at 690GHz with baselines exceeding 1.5km, we study the dense gas, dust…
Measuring the density profile and mass concentration of dark-matter haloes is a key test of the standard cold dark matter paradigm. Such objects are dark and thus challenging to characterise, but they can be studied via gravitational…
The atomic hydrogen gas (HI) disk in the outer region (beyond ~10 kpc from the centre) of Milky Way can provide valuable information about the structure of the dark matter halo. The recent 3-D thickness map of the outer HI disk from the all…
This paper reviews the constraints that can be placed on the shapes of disk galaxies' dark halos using the distribution and kinematics of atomic hydrogen. These data indicate that dark halos are close to axisymmetric, with their axes of…
We present the results of a single-dish beam-matched survey of the three lowest rotational transitions of CO in a sample of 20 local (D < 70 Mpc) Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs). These ~L*, blue, high surface brightness, starbursting…
