A comprehensive assessment of weak-lensing inferred circular velocity profiles of isolated galaxies

Sri Devaki Meduri, Shantanu Desai

We fit the circular velocity data, derived from weak lensing observations of isolated galaxies selected from the KiDS survey in four baryonic mass bins, using three different dark…

A test of Amati relation using HII galaxy distances

Rikiya Okazaki, Shantanu Desai

We use model-independent luminosity distances of 186 HII galaxy observations to address the circularity problem in the Amati relation for Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). For this purpose,…
