The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14
We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…
Spatial and kinematic alignments between central and satellite halos
A. Faltenbacher, Y. P. Jing, Cheng Li +4
Based on a cosmological N-body simulation we analyze spatial and kinematic alignments of satellite halos within six times the virial radius of group size host halos (Rvir). We meas…
The Dependence of the Galaxy Luminosity Function on Large-Scale Environment
H. J. Mo, Xiaohu Yang, Frank C. van den Bosch +1
A basic assumption in current halo occupation model is that the properties of a galaxy depend only on the mass of its dark matter halo. An important consequence of this is that the…
The Central Mass Distribution in Dwarf and Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
R. A. Swaters, B. F. Madore, F. C. van den Bosch +1
We present Halpha rotation curves for a sample of 15 dwarf and LSB galaxies. From these, we derive limits on the slopes of the central mass distributions. Assuming the density dist…
