The candidate cluster and protocluster catalog (CCPC) of spectroscopically identified structures spanning

J. R. Franck, S. S. McGaugh

We have developed a search methodology to identify galaxy protoclusters at , and implemented it on a sample of 14,000 galaxies with previously measured redshifts. The…

The small scatter of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation

Federico Lelli, Stacy S. McGaugh, James M. Schombert

In a LCDM cosmology, the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) is expected to show significant intrinsic scatter resulting from the mass-concentration relation of dark matter halos…

Young tidal dwarf galaxies cannot be used to probe dark matter in galaxies

H. Flores, F. Hammer, S. Fouquet +4

The location of dark-matter free, tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) in the baryonic Tully Fisher (bTF) diagram has been used to test cosmological scenarios, leading to various and contro…

The mass discrepancy acceleration relation in a CDM context

Arianna Di Cintio, Federico Lelli

The mass discrepancy acceleration relation (MDAR) describes the coupling between baryons and dark matter (DM) in galaxies: the ratio of total-to-baryonic mass at a given radius ant…

The Surface Density Profile of the Galactic Disk from the Terminal Velocity Curve

Stacy S. McGaugh

The mass distribution of the Galactic disk is constructed from the terminal velocity curve and the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation. Mass models numerically quantifying the d…

The alignment of SDSS satellites with the VPOS: effects of the survey footprint shape

Marcel S. Pawlowski

It is sometimes argued that the uneven sky coverage of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) biases the distribution of satellite galaxies discovered by it to align with the polar pl…
