Anomalous Stellar Populations in LSB Galaxies

James Schombert, Stacy McGaugh

We present new HST WFC3 near-IR observations of the CMD's in two LSB galaxies, F575-3 and F615-1, notable for having no current star formation based on a lack of H emission. Key…

The assembly bias of emission line galaxies

Esteban Jimenez, Nelson Padilla, Sergio Contreras +3

The next generation of spectroscopic surveys will target emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to produce constraints on cosmological parameters. We study the large scale structure traced…

Mass-Velocity Dispersion Relation in HIFLUGCS Galaxy Clusters

Yong Tian, Po-Chieh Yu, Pengfei Li +2

We investigate the mass-velocity dispersion relation (MVDR) in 29 galaxy clusters in the HIghest X-ray FLUx Galaxy Cluster Sample (HIFLUGCS). We measure the spatially resolved, lin…

Testing the Strong Equivalence Principle: Detection of the External Field Effect in Rotationally Supported Galaxies

Kyu-Hyun Chae, Federico Lelli, Harry Desmond +3

The strong equivalence principle (SEP) distinguishes General Relativity from other viable theories of gravity. The SEP demands that the internal dynamics of a self-gravitating syst…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXXIV. Ultra-Compact Dwarf (UCD) Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Chengze Liu, Patrick Côté, Eric W. Peng +26

We present a study of ultra compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo cluster based mainly on imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Using 100 deg$^{2}…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXX. Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies and their Globular Cluster Systems

Sungsoon Lim, Patrick Côté, Eric W. Peng +14

We present a study of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo Cluster based on deep imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Applying a new definition for t…

Dissecting and Modelling Galaxy Assembly Bias

Xiaoju Xu, Idit Zehavi, Sergio Contreras

Understanding the galaxy-halo connection is fundamental for contemporary models of galaxy clustering. The extent to which the haloes' assembly history and environment impact galaxy…

Can Bars Erode Cuspy Halos ?

Sandeep Kumar Kataria, Mousumi Das, Stacy McGaugh

One of the major and widely known small scale problem with the Lambda CDM model of cosmology is the core-cusp problem. In this study we investigate whether this problem can be reso…

Predictions and Outcomes for the Dynamics of Rotating Galaxies

Stacy McGaugh

A review is given of a priori predictions made for the dynamics of rotating galaxies. One theory - MOND - has had many predictions corroborated by subsequent observations. While it…

A comprehensive catalog of dark matter halo models for SPARC galaxies

Pengfei Li, Federico Lelli, Stacy McGaugh +1

We present rotation curve fits to 175 late-type galaxies from the Spitzer Photometry & Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database using seven dark matter (DM) halo profiles: pseudo-…
