The distribution of dark matter in galaxies

P Salucci - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2019 - Springer
The distribution of the non-luminous matter in galaxies of different luminosity and Hubble
type is much more than a proof of the existence of dark particles governing the structures of …

Structure and kinematics of early-type galaxies from integral field spectroscopy

M Cappellari - Annual review of astronomy and astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Observations of galaxy isophotes, long-slit kinematics, and high-resolution photometry
suggested a possible dichotomy between two distinct classes of elliptical galaxies. But these …

Is the observable Universe consistent with the cosmological principle?

PK Aluri, P Cea, P Chingangbam… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The cosmological principle (CP)—the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and
homogeneous on large scales—underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is …

Anomalies in physical cosmology

PJE Peebles - Annals of Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
The Λ CDM cosmology passes demanding tests that establish it as a good approximation to
reality. The theory is incomplete, of course, and open issues are being examined in active …

One law to rule them all: the radial acceleration relation of galaxies

F Lelli, SS McGaugh, JM Schombert… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the link between baryons and dark matter (DM) in 240 galaxies with spatially

The ATLAS3D project is a multiwavelength survey combined with a theoretical modelling
effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimetre and optical, and provide …

The ATLAS3D project – XX. Mass–size and mass–σ distributions of early-type galaxies: bulge fraction drives kinematics, mass-to-light ratio, molecular gas fraction …

In the companion Paper XV of this series, we derive accurate total mass-to-light ratios within
a sphere of radius centred on the galaxy, as well as stellar (M/L) stars (with the dark matter …

Detailed decomposition of galaxy images. II. Beyond axisymmetric models
