Astrophysical probes of the Vainshtein mechanism: Stars and galaxies [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2015 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 ...

Tully-Fisher Relations and Retardation Theory for Galaxies [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics D, (2021) 2142008, 2021 Galaxies are huge physical systems having dimensions of many tens of thousands of light years. Thus any change at the galactic center will be noticed at the rim only tens of thousands of years later. Those retardation effects seem to be neglected in present day galactic modelling used to calculate rotational velocities of matter in the rims of the ...

Cold fronts: probes of plasma astrophysics in galaxy clusters [PDF]
Journal of Plasma Physics, 2016 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.

Tales within Tales and Cutoffs within Cutoffs: What Sets the Mass Scale for Galaxies? [PDF]
, 2001 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?

ASSESSING ASTROPHYSICAL UNCERTAINTIES IN DIRECT DETECTION WITH GALAXY SIMULATIONS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 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 ...

Spheroidal and elliptical galaxy radial velocity dispersion determined from Cosmological General Relativity [PDF]
Int. J. Theor. Phys. 47(5): 1252-1260, 2008, 2007 Radial velocity dispersion in spheroidal and elliptical galaxies, as a function of radial distance from the center of the galaxy, has been derived from Cosmological Special Relativity. For velocity dispersions in the outer regions of spherical galaxies, the dynamical mass calculated for a galaxy using Carmelian theory may be 10 to 100 times less than ...

A spectrophotometric catalogue of HII galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 We present a spectrophotometric catalogue of 90 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) discovered during an objective - prism survey that aimed to search for dwarf galaxies within the voids (Popescu et al. 1996, 1998).
