The discrepancy between dynamical and stellar masses in massive compact galaxies traces non-homology

L. Peralta de Arriba, M. Balcells, J. Falcón-Barroso +1

For many massive compact galaxies, their dynamical masses ($M_{\mathrm{dyn}}\propto {\sigma }^2{r}_{\mathrm{e}}$) are lower than their stellar masses ($M_{\star }$). We analyse the unphysical mas…
