gradients driven by IMF variation: Large impact on dynamical stellar mass estimates

M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, H. Dominguez-Sanchez +4

Within a galaxy the stellar mass-to-light ratio is not constant. Spatially resolved kinematics of nearby early-type galaxies suggest that allowing for a variable initial mass…

Revisiting the bulge-halo conspiracy II: Towards explaining its puzzling dependence on redshift

Francesco Shankar, Alessandro Sonnenfeld, Philip Grylls +8

We carry out a systematic investigation of the total mass density profile of massive (Mstar~3e11 Msun) early-type galaxies and its dependence on redshift, specifically in the range…

Stellar mass functions and implications for a variable IMF

M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. -L. Fischer +6

Spatially resolved kinematics of nearby galaxies has shown that the ratio of dynamical- to stellar population-based estimates of the mass of a galaxy () correlat…

Evidence for galaxy dynamics tracing background cosmology below the de Sitter scale of acceleration

Maurice H. P. M. van Putten

Galaxy dynamics probes weak gravity at accelerations below the de Sitter scale of acceleration , where is the velocity of light and is the Hubble parameter. Low…

Radial Acceleration Relation between Baryons and Dark or Phantom Matter in the Super-critical Acceleration Regime of Nearly Spherical Galaxies

Kyu-Hyun Chae, Mariangela Bernardi, Ravi K. Sheth +1

The central regions of nearby elliptical galaxies are dominated by baryons (stars) and provide interesting laboratories for studying the radial acceleration relation (RAR). We carr…

Multiple stellar populations of globular clusters from homogeneous Ca-Cn photometry. II. M5 (NGC 5904) and a new filter system

Jae-Woo Lee

Using our ingeniously designed new filter systems, we investigate the multiple stellar populations of the RGB and AGB in the GC M5. Our results are the following. (1) Our cn_jwl in…

Hydrodynamic simulations of the central molecular zone with realistic Galactic potential

Jihye Shin, Sungsoo S. Kim, Junichi Baba +4

We present hydrodynamic simulations of gas clouds inflowing from the disk to a few hundred parsec region of the Milky Way. A gravitational potential is generated to include realist…
