Internally-driven warps in disc galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021
Any perturbation to a disc galaxy that creates a misalignment between the planes of the inner and outer disc, will excite a slowly evolving bending wave in the outer disc. The torque from the stiff inner disc drives a retrograde, leading-spiral bending wave that grows in amplitude as it propagates outward over a period of several Gyr.

Entropy and Mass Distribution in Disc Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
The relaxed motion of stars and gas in galactic discs is well approximated by a rotational velocity that is a function of radial position only, implying that individual components have lost any information about their prior states.

Potential impact of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy on the formation of young O-rich stars. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun
The Milky Way underwent significant transformations in its early history, characterised by violent mergers and satellite galaxy accretion. However, recent observations reveal notable star formation events over the past 4 Gyr, likely triggered by ...

Exploring the millimetre emission in nearby galaxies: Analysis of the edge-on galaxy NGC 891 [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
New observations of the edge-on galaxy NGC 891, at 1.15 and 2mm obtained with the IRAM 30-m telescope and the NIKA2 camera, within the framework of the IMEGIN (Interpreting the Millimetre Emission of Galaxies with IRAM and NIKA2) Large Program, are ...

Dark matter mass loss in galaxy flybys: dependence on impact parameter [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2022
Galaxy flybys, interactions where two independent halos inter-penetrate but detach at a later time and do not merge, occur frequently at lower redshifts.

Formation of Transitional cE/UCD Galaxies through Massive/Dwarf Disc Galaxy Mergers

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
The dynamics of the merger of a dwarf disc galaxy with a massive spiral galaxy of the Milky Way type were studied in detail. The remnant of such interaction after numerous crossings of the satellite through the disc of the main galaxy was a compact ...

Formation of Major Types of Galaxies Based on the Energy Circulation Theory

open access: yesReports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2022
The standard cosmology can answer almost nothing about how the structure of a galaxy is formed. It expects a supermassive black hole at the center and dark matter in the halo to explain the circulation of stars and its velocity.
