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 ...

Global HI profiles of spiral galaxies [PDF]
, 1995 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.

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.

Studies of Seyfert galaxies in Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute
Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory, 2020 This article provides an overview of the main research results of a large group of Seyfert galaxies, carried out at Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute (FAI) over the past 50 years. Spectral observations have been performed since 1970. At an early stage, a three cascade image-tube (UM-92) was used as a radiation receiver.

Local and large-scale effects on the astrophysics of void galaxies
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 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 ...

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?

Spiral galaxies with large optical warps [PDF]
, 1999 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.

The astrophysical consequences of intervening galaxy gas on fast radio bursts [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We adopt and analyze results on the incidence and physical properties of damped Ly$ $ systems (DLAs) to predict the astrophysical impact of gas in galaxies on observations of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). Three DLA measures form the basis of this analysis: (i) the HI column density distribution, parameterized as a double power-law; (ii) the incidence of ...
