Modified gravity models and the central cusp of dark matter halos in galaxies

Davi C. Rodrigues, Paulo L. de Oliveira, Julio C. Fabris +1

The N-body dark matter (DM) simulations point that DM density profiles, e.g. the NFW halo, should be cuspy in its center, but observations disfavour this kind of DM profile. Here w…

Cool dust heating and temperature mixing in nearby star-forming galaxies

L. K. Hunt, B. T. Draine, S. Bianchi +20

Physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies are closely linked to the ambient radiation field and the heating of dust grains. In order to characterize dust propertie…
