We propose a complementary and fast approach to study galaxy rotation curves directly from the sample data, instead of individual fits. With this approach, some relevant tests can be done analytically. It is based on a dimensionless…
The effective potential in the Grumiller's modified gravity [D. Grumiller, Phys. Rev. Lett {\bf 105}, 211303 (2010)] includes the Newtonian potential and a Rindler term. The fitting to the rotation curve data of eight galaxies suggests a…
Theories of modified gravity generically violate the strong equivalence principle, so that the internal dynamics of a self-gravitating system in free fall depends on the strength of the external gravitational field (the external field…
Average stellar radii in open clusters can be estimated from rotation periods and projected rotational velocities under the assumption of random orientation of the spin axis. Such estimates are independent of distance, interstellar…
We investigate the Baryonic Faber-Jackson Relation (BFJR), examining the correlation between baryonic mass and velocity dispersion in galaxy groups and clusters. Originally analysed in elliptical galaxies, the BFJR is derivable from the…
We investigate the shape of the Rotation Curves (RCs) of $z\sim 1$ star-forming galaxies and compare them with the local star-forming galaxies. For this purpose, we have used $409$ galaxies from the K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS)…
The dark matter halo surface density, given by the product of the dark matter core radius ($r_c$) and core density ($\rho_c$) has been shown to be a constant for a wide range of isolated galaxy systems. Here, we carry out a test of this…
Accurate distances to stars and galaxies allow for significant tests of stellar evolution, galaxy formation and evolution and cosmology. NASA's Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) will obtain precision [1-30 microarcsec] astrometry for…
Scaling relations among structural and kinematical features of 79 late-type spiral and dwarf irregular galaxies of the SPARC sample are revisited or newly established. The mean central surface brightness <$\mu_{0,[3.6]}$> = 19.63 $\pm$ 0.11…
We present a new empirical model for galaxy rotation curves that introduces a velocity correction term {\omega}, derived from observed stellar motion and anchored to Keplerian baselines. Unlike parametric halo models or modified gravity…
Typical stars in the Milky Way galaxy have velocities of hundreds of kilometres per second and experience gravitational accelerations of $\sim 10^{-10}$ m s$^{-2}$, resulting in velocity changes of a few centimetres per second over a…
We examine galaxy formation in a cosmological AMR simulation, which includes two high resolution boxes, one centered on a 3 \times 10^14 M\odot cluster, and one centered on a void. We examine the evolution of 611 massive (M\ast >…
Propagation of charged cosmic-rays in the Galaxy depends on the transport parameters, whose number can be large depending on the propagation model under scrutiny. A standard approach for determining these parameters is a manual scan,…
To calibrate stellar velocity dispersion measurements from optical and near-IR stellar lines, and to improve the black hole mass (MBH)- stellar velocity dispersion (sigma) relation, we measure stellar velocity dispersions based on high…
We describe the ROSAT All-Sky Survey-Center for Astrophysics Loose Systems (RASSCALS), the largest X-ray and optical survey of low mass galaxy groups to date. We draw 260 groups from the combined Center for Astrophysics and Southern Sky…
The influence of various factors on the statistical properties of the Galactic center distance ($R_0$) estimate obtained by solving the general problem of determining the geometric parameters of a Galactic spiral arm from its segment with…
We investigate the consistency of visual morphological classifications of galaxies by comparing classifications for 831 galaxies from six independent observers. The galaxies were classified on laser print copy images or on computer screen…
We analyzed the spatial distribution of 28500 photometrically selected galaxies with AB magnitude 23.5<R<25.5 and redshift 1.4<z<3.5 in 21 fields with a total area of 0.81 square degrees. The galaxies were divided into three subsamples,…
We study the Mass Discrepancy-Acceleration Relation (MDAR) of 57 elliptical galaxies by their Einstein rings from the Sloan Lens ACS Survey (SLACS). The mass discrepancy between the lensing mass and the baryonic mass derived from population…
Maximum disc decompositions of rotation curves place a dynamical upper limit to the mass attributable to stars in galaxies. The precise definition of this term, however, can be vague and varies in usage. We develop an algorithm to robustly…
