Cosmology with a Non-minimally Coupled Dark Matter Fluid II. Cosmological Perturbations

Samuele Silveravalle, Andrea Lapi, Francesco Benetti +1

We extend our study of a cosmological scenario in which dark matter is non-minimally coupled to gravity at the fluid level. In previous work, we showed that this interaction can dr…

Cosmology with a Non-minimally Coupled Dark Matter Fluid I. Background Evolution

Samuele Silveravalle, Andrea Lapi, Francesco Benetti +1

We explore a cosmological model in which dark matter is non-minimally coupled to gravity at the fluid level. While typically subdominant compared to Standard Model forces, such cou…

Outer regions of galaxy clusters as a new probe to test modifications to gravity

Minahil Adil Butt, Sandeep Haridasu, Antonaldo Diaferio +4

We apply the caustic technique to samples of galaxy clusters stacked in redshift space to estimate the gravitational potential in the cluster's outer region and test modifications…

A Relativistic Tensorial Model for Fractional Interaction between Dark Matter and Gravity

Francesco Benetti, Andrea Lapi, Samuele Silveravalle +5

In a series of recent papers it was shown that several aspects of Dark Matter (DM) phenomenology, such as the velocity profiles of individual dwarfs and spiral galaxies, the scalin…

Modified gravity in galaxy clusters: Joint analysis of Hydrostatics and Caustics

Minahil Adil Butt, Sandeep Haridasu, Yacer Boumechta +4

We present a comprehensive joint analysis of two distinct methodologies for measuring the mass of galaxy clusters: hydrostatic measurements and caustic techniques. We show that by…

Ultra-compact Objects of Non-minimally Coupled Dark Matter

Francesco Benetti, Andrea Lapi, Samuele Silveravalle +1

In the framework of a collisionless dark matter fluid which is non-minimally coupled to gravity, we investigate the existence and properties of static, spherically symmetric soluti…

A Relativistic Scalar Model for Fractional Interaction between Dark Matter and Gravity

Francesco Benetti, Andrea Lapi, Giovanni Gandolfi +1

In a series of recent papers we put forward a ``fractional gravity'' framework striking an intermediate course between a modified gravity theory and an exotic dark matter (DM) scen…

Mass Modeling and Kinematics of Galaxy Clusters in Modified Gravity

Lorenzo Pizzuti, Yacer Boumechta, Sandeep Haridasu +6

The chameleon screening mechanism has been constrained many a time using dynamic and kinematic galaxy cluster observables. Current constraints are, however, insensitive to differen…

Caustic and hydrostatic mass bias: Implications for modified gravity

Minahil Adil Butt, Balakrishna S. Haridasu, Yacer Boumechta +4

We propose and perform a joint analysis of the two different mass estimates of galaxy clusters, namely the hydrostatic and caustic techniques. Firstly, we show comprehensively that…

Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity III: Dwarf Galaxies Kinematics

F. Benetti, A. Lapi, G. Gandolfi +4

Recently we put forward a framework where the dark matter (DM) component within virialized halos is subject to a non-local interaction originated by fractional gravity (FG) effects…

Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity II: Tests in Galaxy Clusters

Francesco Benetti, Andrea Lapi, Giovanni Gandolfi +2

[abridged] Recently, in Benetti et al. (Astrophys. J. 2023, 949, 65), we suggested that the dark matter (DM) component in galaxies may originate fractional gravity. In such a frame…

Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity I: Astrophysical Tests on Galactic Scales

Francesco Benetti, Andrea Lapi, Giovanni Gandolfi +2

[abridged] We explore the possibility that the dark matter (DM) component in galaxies may originate fractional gravity. In such a framework, the standard law of inertia continues t…

Building galaxies, stars, planets and the ingredients for life between the stars. A scientific proposal for a European Ultraviolet-Visible Observatory (EUVO)

Ana I. Gómez de Castro, Thierry Appourchaux, Martin Barstow +36

The growth of luminous structures and the building blocks of life in the Universe began as primordial gas was processed in stars and mixed at galactic scales. The mechanisms respon…
