When Streams Curve Away: a Test of Dark Matter from Extragalactic Stellar Stream Populations

Nathaniel Starkman, Jacob Nibauer, Sarah Pearson +2

The nature of dark matter sets the shape of galactic halos: collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) predicts triaxial halos, while scattering in self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) ro…

Potamides: Mapping Dark Matter Halo Shapes from Stellar Stream Tracks in the Local Universe

Sirui Wu, Nathaniel Starkman, Sarah Pearson +3

Stellar streams trace the gravitational potential of their host galaxies and offer a direct probe of dark matter halo geometry. Cosmological simulations predict that halo shapes de…

The catalogue of virtual early-type galaxies from IllustrisTNG: validation and real observation consistency

Pedro de Araujo Ferreira, Nicola R. Napolitano, Luciano Casarini +3

Early-type galaxies (ETGs) are reference systems to understand galaxy formation and evolution processes. The physics of their formation and internal dynamics are codified in well-k…

Total and dark mass from observations of galaxy centers with Machine Learning

Sirui Wu, Nicola R. Napolitano, Crescenzo Tortora +4

The galaxy total mass inside the effective radius encode important information on the dark matter and galaxy evolution model. Total "central" masses can be inferred via galaxy dyna…

Toward a stellar population catalog in the Kilo Degree Survey: the impact of stellar recipes on stellar masses and star formation rates

Linghua Xie, Nicola R. Napolitano, Xiaotong Guo +11

The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is currently the only sky survey providing optical () plus near-infrared (NIR, ) seeing matched photometry over an area larger than 100…
