Dynamical structure of small bulges reveals their early formation in ΛCDM paradigm
Luca Costantin, Jairo Méndez-Abreu, Enrico M. Corsini +6
The Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) paradigm of galaxy formation predicts that dense spheroidal stellar structures invariably grow at early cosmic time. These primordial spheroids evolve…
