The cosmic web is one of the most striking features of the distribution of galaxies and dark matter on the largest scales in the Universe. It is composed of...
Tracing the stellar component of low surface brightness Milky Way dwarf galaxies to their outskirts. I. Sextans
Aims: We present results from deep and very spatially extended CTIO/DECam g and r photometry (reaching out to 2 mag below the oldest main-sequence turn-off and...
Understanding the Cosmic Mass Function High-Mass Behavior
We claim that the discrepancy found between the theoretical predictions for the cosmic mass function and those found in numerical simulations is due to the fact...
Unraveling the Complexity of Dwarf Galaxy Dynamics: A Study of Binary Orbital Motions
We investigate the impact of binary orbital motions on the dynamical modeling of dwarf galaxies with intrinsic line-of-sight velocity dispersions ( ${\sigma }_{...
Upper Limit for γ-Ray Emission above 140 GeV from the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Draco
The nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco, with its high mass to light ratio, is one of the most auspicious targets for indirect dark matter (DM) searches...
Upper Limits on the VHE Gamma-Ray Emission from the Willman 1 Satellite Galaxy with the Magic Telescope
We present the result of the observation of the ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Willman 1 performed with the 17 m MAGIC telescope during 15.5 hr between March and May...
A specific modification of Newtonian dynamics known as MOND has been shown to reproduce the dynamics of most astrophysical systems at different scales without...
Observational studies show that voids are prominent features of the large scale structure of the present day Universe. Even though their emerging from the...
Warps of disk galaxies are ubiquitous. In almost every disk galaxy a bending of the disk occurs where the stars fade away and hence where the dark matter halo...
