[Abridged] We analyse the dark matter (DM) halo properties of 127 0.3<z<1.5 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) down to low stellar masses (8<log(Mstar/Msun)<11), using data from the MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey and photometry from HST and…

This series of papers is dedicated to a new technique to select galaxies that can act as standard rods and standard candles in order to perform geometrical tests on large samples of high redshift galaxies to constrain different cosmological…

We study gravitational lensing by spiral galaxies, using realistic models consisting of halo, disk, and bulge components combined to produce a flat rotation curve. Proper dynamical normalization of the models is critical because a disk…

We investigate the stellar disk structure of six nearby edge-on spiral galaxies using high-resolution JHKs-band images and 3D radiative transfer models. To explore how mass and environment shape spiral disks, we selected galaxies with…

We present the HI data for 5 spiral galaxies that, along with their Halpha rotation curves, are used to derive the distribution of dark matter within these objects. A new method for extracting rotation curves from HI data cubes is…

We use N-body hydrodynamical simulations to study the structure of disks in triaxial potentials resembling CDM halos. Our analysis focuses on the accuracy of the dark mass distribution inferred from rotation curves derived from simulated…

Rotation curves of dark-matter-dominated galaxies measure the mass profiles of galactic halos and thereby test theories of their cosmological origin. While attention has focused lately on the possible discrepancy at small galactocentric…

It has been proposed that the flat rotation curves observed at large radii in disk galaxies can be interpreted as an effect of General Relativity (GR) instead of the presence of dark matter (DM) halos in Newtonian gravity. In Ciotti (2022)…

We investigate in detail the mass distribution obtained by means of high resolution rotation curves of 25 galaxies of different morphological types. The dark matter contribution to the circular rotation velocity is well-described by…

We observed star-forming galaxies at z~1.5 selected from the HyperSuprimeCam Subaru Strategic Program. The galaxies are part of two significant overdensities of [OII] emitters identified via narrow-band imaging and photometric redshifts…

The rotation curves of 20 spiral galaxies are examined in the light of a toy model (Soares 1992) which has as the main feature the assignment of a high M/L ratio (=30; Ho=50 km/s/Mpc) to the visible matter. The observed rotation of all…

We model the mass distributions of 40 high surface brightness spiral galaxies inside their optical radii, deriving parameters of mass models by matching the predicted velocities to observed velocity maps. We use constant mass-to-light disk…

The frequently observed lopsidedness of the distribution of stars and gas in disc galaxies is still considered as a major problem in galaxy dynamics. It is even discussed as an imprint of the formation history of discs and the evolution of…

Dark-matter-only simulations predict that dark matter halos have cusp-like inner density profiles, while observations of low-mass galaxies have found a range of inner slopes that are typically much shallower. It is still not well…

We report high quality, Halpha or CO rotation curves (RCs) to several Re for 41 large, massive, star-forming disk galaxies (SFGs), across the peak of cosmic galaxy evolution (z~0.67-2.45), taken with the ESO-VLT, the LBT and IRAM-NOEMA.…

Mass models of a sample of 171 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are presented in the context of the cold dark matter (CDM) theory using the NFW dark matter halo density distribution to extract a new concentration-viral mass…

The dark matter hypothesis, which is not called into question here, explains why typical rotation curves of spiral galaxies do not follow a Keplerian profile. It is however not sufficient in itself to explain why the whole matter…

The observed stellar velocity dispersions of galactic discs show that the maximum rotation of a disc is on average 63% of the observed maximum rotation. This criterion can, however, not be applied to small or low surface brightness (LSB)…
