Hints against the cold and collisionless nature of dark matter from the galaxy velocity function

Aurel Schneider, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Emmanouil Papastergis +2

The observed number of dwarf galaxies as a function of rotation velocity is significantly smaller than predicted by the standard model of cosmology. This discrepancy cannot be simp…

Another baryon miracle? Testing solutions to the "missing dwarfs" problem

Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Aurel Schneider, Emmanouil Papastergis +2

The dearth of dwarf galaxies in the local universe is hard to reconcile with the large number of low mass haloes expected within the concordance CDM paradigm. In this paper we p…

A critical look at the merger scenario to explain multiple populations and rotation in iron-complex globular clusters

Elena Gavagnin, Michela Mapelli, George Lake

Merging has been proposed to explain multiple populations in globular clusters (GCs) where there is a spread in iron abundance (hereafter, iron-complex GCs). By means of N-body sim…

Globular Cluster Formation in the Virgo Cluster

C. Corbett Moran, R. Teyssier, G. Lake

Metal poor globular clusters (MPGCs) are a unique probe of the early universe, in particular the reionization era. Systems of globular clusters in galaxy clusters are particularly…

Constraining the Milky Way Halo Shape Using Thin Streams

H. Lux, J. I. Read, G. Lake +1

Tidal streams are a powerful probe of the Milky Way (MW) potential shape. In this paper, we introduce a simple test particle method to fit stream data, using a Markov Chain Monte C…

Habitability in Different Milky Way Stellar Environments: a Stellar Interaction Dynamical Approach

Juan J. Jiménez-Torres, Bárbara Pichardo, George Lake +1

Every Galactic environment is characterized by a stellar density and a velocity dispersion. With this information from literature, we simulated flyby encounters for several Galacti…
