The rotationally stabilized VPOS and predicted proper motions of the Milky Way satellite galaxies
Marcel S. Pawlowski, Pavel Kroupa
The satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) define a vast polar structure (VPOS), a thin plane perpendicular to the MW disc. Proper motion (PM) measurements are now available for…
Dwarf Galaxy Planes: the discovery of symmetric structures in the Local Group
Marcel S. Pawlowski, Pavel Kroupa, Helmut Jerjen
Both major galaxies in the Local Group (LG) are surrounded by thin planes of mostly co-orbiting satellite galaxies, the vast polar structure (VPOS) around the Milky Way (MW) and th…
The vast thin plane of M31 co-rotating dwarfs: an additional fossil signature of the M31 merger and of its considerable impact in the whole Local Group
François Hammer, Yanbin Yang, Sylvain Fouquet +5
The recent discovery by Ibata et al. (2013) of a vast thin disk of satellites (VTDS) around M31 offers a new challenge for the understanding of the Local Group properties. This com…
The failures of the standard model of cosmology require a new paradigm
Pavel Kroupa, Marcel Pawlowski, Mordehai Milgrom
Cosmological models that invoke warm or cold dark matter can not explain observed regularities in the properties of dwarf galaxies, their highly anisotropic spatial distributions,…
