Tidal forces from the wake of dynamical friction: warps, lopsidedness and kinematic misalignment
Rain Kipper, María Benito, Peeter Tenjes +2
A galaxy moving through a background of dark matter particles, induces an overdensity of these particles or a wake behind it. The back reaction of this wake on the galaxy is a forc…
Bayesian reconstruction of the Milky Way dark matter distribution
Ekaterina V. Karukes, Maria Benito, Fabio Iocco +2
We develop a novel Bayesian methodology aimed at reliably and precisely inferring the distribution of dark matter within the Milky Way using rotation curve data. We identify a subs…
Testing MOG theory in the Milky Way
Carolina Negrelli, Maria Benito, Susana Landau +2
We perform a test of John Moffat's Modified Gravity theory (MOG) within the Milky Way, adopting the well known "Rotation Curve" method. We use the dynamics of observed tracers with…
