Habitability on local, Galactic and cosmological scales

Luigi Secco, Marco Fecchio, Francesco Marzari

The aim of this paper is to underline conditions necessary for the emergence and development of life. They are placed at local planetary scale, at Galactic scale and within the cos…

The role of dark matter in the galaxy mass-size relationship

Daniele Bindoni, Luigi Secco, Emanuele Contini +1

The observed relationship between stellar mass and effective radius for early type galaxies, pointed out by many authors, is interpreted in the context of Clausius' virial maximum…

Effects of the Planar Galactic Tides and Stellar Mass on Comet Cloud Dynamics

Marco Masi, Luigi Secco, Guillermo Gonzalez

We report the first results of a research program to explore the sensitivity of the orbits of Oort cloud comets to changes in the strength of the Galactic tides in the plane of the…

On the tilt of Fundamental Plane by Clausius' virial maximum theory

Luigi Secco, Daniele Bindoni

The theory of the Clausius' virial maximum to explain the Fundamental Plane (FP) proposed by Secco (2000, 2001,2005) is based on the existence of a maximum in the Clausius' Virial…

Toward Understanding the origin of the Fundamental Plane for Early-Type Galaxies

M. D'onofrio, T. Valentinuzzi, L. Secco +2

We present a panoramic review of several observational and theoretical aspects of the modern astrophysical research about the origin of the Fundamental Plane (FP) relation for Earl…

On Mechanics and Thermodynamics of a stellar galaxy in a two-component virial system and the Fundamental Plane

L. Secco

The paper confirms the existence of a special configuration (among the infinite number of virial states) which a B stellar(Baryonic) component may assume inside a given D dark halo…
