A robust estimate of the Milky Way mass from rotation curve data

Ekaterina V. Karukes, Maria Benito, Fabio Iocco +2

We present a new estimate of the mass of the Milky Way, inferred via a Bayesian approach by making use of tracers of the circular velocity in the disk plane and stars in the stella…

Bayesian reconstruction of the Milky Way dark matter distribution

Ekaterina V. Karukes, Maria Benito, Fabio Iocco +2

We develop a novel Bayesian methodology aimed at reliably and precisely inferring the distribution of dark matter within the Milky Way using rotation curve data. We identify a subs…

Testing MOG theory in the Milky Way

Carolina Negrelli, Maria Benito, Susana Landau +2

We perform a test of John Moffat's Modified Gravity theory (MOG) within the Milky Way, adopting the well known "Rotation Curve" method. We use the dynamics of observed tracers with…

An estimate of the DM profile in the Galactic bulge region

Fabio Iocco, Maria Benito

We present an analysis of the mass distribution in the region of the Galactic bulge, which leads to constraints on the total amount and distribution of Dark Matter (DM) therein. Ou…

Discovery of a z=0.65 Post-Starburst BAL Quasar in the DES Supernova Fields

Dale Mudd, Paul Martini, Suk Sien Tie +55

We present the discovery of a z=0.65 low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar in a post-starburst galaxy in data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and spectroscopy from…

Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…

Testing modified Newtonian dynamics in the Milky Way

Fabio Iocco, Miguel Pato, Gianfranco Bertone

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is an empirical theory originally proposed to explain the rotation curves of spiral galaxies by modifying the gravitational acceleration, rather…

Dynamical constraints on the dark matter distribution in the Milky Way

Miguel Pato, Fabio Iocco, Gianfranco Bertone

An accurate knowledge of the dark matter distribution in the Milky Way is of crucial importance for galaxy formation studies and current searches for particle dark matter. In this…
