Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies [PDF]

, 2012
One of the strongest predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model is the presence of dark satellites orbiting all types of galaxies. We focus here on the dynamical effects of such satellites on disky dwarf galaxies, and demonstrate that these ...

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

Overmassive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies Out to z ∼ 0.9 in the VIPERS Survey

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to originate from early universe seed black holes of mass M _BH ∼ 10 ^2 –10 ^5 M _⊙ and grown through cosmic time. Such seeds could be powering the active galactic nuclei (AGN) found in today’s dwarf galaxies.

A MegaCam Survey of Outer Halo Satellites. VII. A Single S\'ersic Index v/s Effective Radius Relation for Milky Way Outer Halo Satellites

, 2019
In this work we use structural properties of Milky Way's outer halo ($R_G > 25\,\mathrm{kpc}$) satellites (dwarf spheroidal galaxies, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and globular clusters) derived from deep, wide-field and homogeneous data, to present ...

Hunting strategies, success, and sustainability: A case study in a community forest on the edge of Salonga National Park, DRC

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
In Central Africa, traditional hunting is central to the way of life of local communities. However, increasing demand for wild meat has raised concerns about the sustainability of this practice. With a year‐long analysis of hunting strategies and their impact at the outskirts of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo, we showed a ...

THE METALLICITY OF VOID DWARF GALAXIES [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2014
The current Lambda CDM cosmological model predicts that galaxy evolution proceeds more slowly in lower density environments, suggesting that voids are a prime location to search for relatively pristine galaxies that are representative of the building blocks of early massive galaxies.

A MARVEL-ous Study of How Well Galaxy Shapes Reflect Dark Matter Halo Shapes in Cold Dark Matter Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a 3D shape analysis of both dark matter (DM) and stellar matter (SM) in simulated dwarf galaxies to determine whether stellar shape traces DM shape. Using 80 central and satellite dwarf galaxies from three simulation suites (“Marvelous Massive

Stellar streams around dwarf galaxies in the local Universe

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. While mergers between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites have been well studied, the properties of dwarf–dwarf satellite mergers are not well constrained.

Faint dwarf galaxies in nearby clusters

, 2010
Besides giant elliptical galaxies, a number of low-mass stellar systems inhabit the cores of galaxy clusters, such as dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs/dSphs), ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), and globular clusters.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.
