On wave dark matter in spiral and barred galaxies
L. A. Martinez-Medina, Hubert L. Bray, Tonatiuh Matos
We recover spiral and barred spiral patterns in disk galaxy simulations with a Wave Dark Matter (WDM) background (also known as Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM), Ultra-Light Axion (…
Detecting Triaxiality in the Galactic Dark Matter Halo through Stellar Kinematics II: Dependence on Dark Matter and Gravity Nature
Armando Rojas-Niño, Luis A. Martínez-Medina, Barbara Pichardo +1
Recent studies have presented evidence that the Milky Way global potential may be nonspherical. In this case, the assembling process of the Galaxy may have left long lasting stella…
SFDM: A new formation mechanism of tidal debris
Victor H. Robles, L. A. Martinez-Medina, T. Matos
Recent observations of tidal debris around galaxies have revealed that the structural properties of the spheroidal components of tidally disturbed galaxies are similar to those fou…
The Contribution of Spiral Arms to the Thick Disk along the Hubble Sequence
L. A. Martinez-Medina, B. Pichardo, A. Pérez-Villegas +1
The first mechanism invoked to explain the existence of the thick disk in the Milky Way Galaxy, were the spiral arms. Up-to-date work summon several other possibilities that togeth…
