Dark matter annihilation and the Galactic Centre Excess
We compare the surface brightness profile and morphology of the Galactic Centre Excess (GCE) identified in wide-angle γ-ray maps from the Fermi-Large Area...
Dark matter content of ETGs and its relation to the local density of galaxies
We study the behaviour of the dynamical and stellar mass inside the effective radius as function of local density for early-type galaxies (ETGs). We use several...
Dark matter halo concentrations in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe year 5 cosmology
We use a combination of three large N-body simulations to investigate the dependence of dark matter halo concentrations on halo mass and redshift in the...
Aims: It is well known that the presence of baryons affects the dark matter host haloes. Exploring the galaxy assembly history together with the dark matter...
DDO 187: Do Dwarf Galaxies Have Extended, Old Halos?
If dwarf galaxies are primeval objects in the universe, as hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios predict, they should show traces of their old stellar...
DDO 44 and UGC 4998: Distances, Metallicities, and Star Formation Histories
We have obtained deep HST imaging of two candidate dwarf systems in the nearby M81 Group, DDO 44 and UGC 4998. Both are isolated, low surface brightness systems...
Deciphering Quasar Millilensing How to Distinguish Between Dark and Luminous Lenses
Dwarf-galaxy sized dark matter halos may be detectable when a bright background source is gravitationally lensed on scales of milliarcseconds. Such effects can...
Deciphering the Activity and Quiescence of High-redshift Cluster Environments: ALMA Observations of Cl J1449+0856 at z = 2
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of the 870 μm continuum and CO(4-3) line emission in the core of the galaxy cluster Cl...
Deciphering the imprint of active galactic nucleus feedback in Seyfert galaxies: Nuclear-scale molecular gas deficits
We study the distribution of cold molecular gas in the circumunuclear disks (CND; r ≤ 200 pc) of a sample of 64 nearby (D L = 7 ‑ 45 Mpc) disk galaxies –...
