The ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 with MUSE: I. Kinematics of the stellar body

Eric Emsellem, Remco F. J. van der Burg, Jeremy Fensch +14

The so-called ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC~1052-DF2 was announced to be a galaxy lacking dark matter based on a spectroscopic study of its constituent globular clusters. Here we presen…

The Mass-to-light Ratios and the Star Formation Histories of Disk Galaxies

J. Schombert, S. McGaugh, F. Lelli

We combine new data from the main sequence (M_* versus SFR) of star-forming galaxies and galaxy colors (from GALEX to Spitzer) with a flexible stellar population scheme to deduce t…

A constant characteristic volume density of dark matter haloes from SPARC rotation curve fits

Pengfei Li, Federico Lelli, Stacy S. McGaugh +2

We study the scaling relations between dark matter (DM) haloes and galaxy discs using 175 galaxies from the SPARC database. We explore two cosmologically motivated DM halo profiles…

The Tight Empirical Relation between Dark Matter Halo Mass and Flat Rotation Velocity for Late-Type Galaxies

Harley Katz, Harry Desmond, Stacy McGaugh +1

We present a new empirical relation between galaxy dark matter halo mass () and the velocity along the flat portion of the rotation curve (), derive…

Stellar Feedback and the Energy Budget of Late-Type Galaxies: Missing Baryons and Core Creation

Harley Katz, Harry Desmond, Federico Lelli +4

In a CDM cosmology, galaxy formation is a globally inefficient process: it is often the case that far fewer baryons are observed in galaxy disks than expected from the cosmic ba…

Uncorrelated velocity and size residuals across galaxy rotation curves

Harry Desmond, Harley Katz, Federico Lelli +1

The mass--velocity--size relation of late-type galaxies decouples into independent correlations between mass and velocity (the Tully-Fisher relation), and between mass and size. Th…

Neutral versus ionized gas kinematics at z~2.6: The AGN-host starburst galaxy PKS 0529-549

Federico Lelli, Carlos De Breuck, Theresa Falkendal +4

We present a multiwavelength study of the AGN-host starburst galaxy PKS 0529-549 at z~2.6. We use (1) new ALMA observations of the dust continuum and of the [CI] 370 um line, traci…

Fitting the radial acceleration relation to individual SPARC galaxies

Pengfei Li, Federico Lelli, Stacy S. McGaugh +1

Galaxies follow a tight radial acceleration relation (RAR): the acceleration observed at every radius correlates with that expected from the distribution of baryons. We use the Mar…

A New Algorithm to Quantify Maximum Discs in Galaxies

Nathaniel Starkman, Stacy McGaugh, Federico Lelli +1

Maximum disc decompositions of rotation curves place a dynamical upper limit to the mass attributable to stars in galaxies. The precise definition of this term, however, can be vag…

A whirling plane of satellite galaxies around Centaurus A challenges cold dark matter cosmology

Oliver Müller, Marcel S. Pawlowski, Helmut Jerjen +1

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy are each surrounded by a thin plane of satellite galaxies that may be corotating. Cosmological simulations predict that most satellite galaxy sys…
