The Intrinsic Flattening of Galaxy Disks

Jeremy Favaro, Stéphane Courteau, Sébastien Comerón +1

Highly inclined (edge-on) disk galaxies offer the unique perspective to constrain their intrinsic flattening, , where and are respectively the vertical and long radial…

The Nearly Universal Disk Galaxy Rotation Curve

Raj Patel, Nikhil Arora, Stéphane Courteau +3

The Universal Rotation Curve (URC) of disk galaxies was originally proposed to predict the shape and amplitude of any rotation curve (RC) based solely on photometric data. Here, th…

The dark balance: quantifying the inner halo response to active galactic nuclei feedback in galaxies

Nikhil Arora, Stephane Courteau, Andrea V. Maccio +3

This paper presents a study of the impact of supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback on dark matter (DM) halos in numerical NIHAO simulations of galaxies. In particular, the amount…

MaNGA galaxy properties -- II. A detailed comparison of observed and simulated spiral galaxy scaling relations

Nikhil Arora, Stéphane Courteau, Connor Stone +1

We present a catalogue of dynamical properties for 2368 late-type galaxies from the MaNGA survey. The latter complements the catalogue of photometric properties for the same sample…

A Tale of a Tail: A Tidally-Disrupting Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy in the M81 Group

Rokas Žemaitis, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Sakurako Okamoto +4

We present the discovery of a giant tidal tail of stars associated with F8D1, the closest known example of an ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG). F8D1 sits in a region of the sky heavily c…
