Local and large-scale effects on the astrophysics of void galaxies
ABSTRACT Galaxies in cosmic voids have been reported with properties related to a delayed evolution compared to the rest of the Universe. These characteristics reflect the interaction of galaxies with the environment. However, it is not clear the degree of influence of the large-scale structure on the properties of void galaxies or if ...

Global HI profiles of spiral galaxies [PDF]
In this paper we present short HI synthesis observations of 57 galaxies without HI information in the RC3. These are a by-product of a large survey with the WSRT of the neutral hydrogen gas in spiral and irregular galaxies.

Astrophysical probes of the Vainshtein mechanism: Stars and galaxies [PDF]
Ghost-free theories beyond the Horndeski class exhibit a partial breaking of the Vainshtein mechanism inside non-relativistic sources of finite extent. We exploit this breaking to identify new and novel astrophysical probes of these theories. Non-relativistic objects feel a gravitational force that is weaker than that predicted by general relativity ...

Tales within Tales and Cutoffs within Cutoffs: What Sets the Mass Scale for Galaxies? [PDF]
Please answer ``yes'' or ``no'': 1. Does the mass function for clusters of galaxies cut off exponentially? 2. Does the luminosity function for galaxies cut off exponentially? 3. Is the dependence of virial velocity on galaxy luminosity a power law?

Spiral galaxies with large optical warps [PDF]
As a result of our statistical study of 540 edge-on galaxies, we present here the images and preliminary statistical analysis of a sub-sample of 60 galaxies, that were selected to be S-type warped spirals.

ASSESSING ASTROPHYSICAL UNCERTAINTIES IN DIRECT DETECTION WITH GALAXY SIMULATIONS [PDF]
ABSTRACT We study the local dark matter velocity distribution in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies, generated at high resolution with both dark matter and baryons. We find that the dark matter in the solar neighborhood is influenced appreciably by the inclusion of baryons, increasing the speed of dark matter particles compared to dark ...

Cold fronts: probes of plasma astrophysics in galaxy clusters [PDF]
The most massive baryonic component of galaxy clusters is the ‘intracluster medium’ (ICM), a diffuse, hot, weakly magnetized plasma that is most easily observed in the X-ray band. Despite being observed for decades, the macroscopic transport properties of the ICM are still not well constrained.
