Wakes in Dark Matter Halos
Burkhard Fuchs
I discuss the dynamical interaction of galactic disks with the surrounding dark matter halos. In particular it is demonstrated that if the self-gravitating shearing sheet, a model…
Weighing stellar - mass black holes with Gaia
B. Fuchs, U. Bastian
Stellar-mass black holes have been detected by radial-velocity observations in star/black hole binaries. These allow only the determination of the mass function. Tracking the astro…
Dim Matter in the Disks of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
B. Fuchs
An attempt is made to set constraints on the otherwise ambiguous decomposition of the rotation curves of low surface brightness galaxies into contributions due to the various compo…
Implications of modes of star formation for the overall dynamics of galactic disks
B. Fuchs
One of the present concepts for the onset of massive star formation is the Kennicutt criterion. This relates the onset of massive star formation to a general gravitational instabil…
The Amount of Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies
B. Fuchs
The `maximum' disk hypothesis of galactic disks imbedded in dark matter halos is examined. First, decompositions of the rotation curves of NGC 2613, 3198, 6503, and 7184 are analyz…
The evolution of the Milky Way monitored in the solar neighbourhood
B. Fuchs, C. Dettbarn, H. Jahreiss +1
In this review we concentrate on the dynamical evolution of the Milky Way as monitored in the solar neighbourhood. The relevant data sets are presented and discussed in detail. In…
