New dynamical description of the rotation curves of galaxies

open access: yes, 2005
Observations of dynamics of galaxies and plasma in the universe led us to the conclusion that there exists a huge amount of matter that is invisible, the so called "dark matter".

Dark matter, modified gravity and galaxy rotation curves analyses: novel methods

open access: yes, 2023
The current ΛCDM cosmological model considers dark matter to be the most abundant type of matter on the universe, encompassing approximately 26.8% of it. As its name suggests, dark matter cannot be directly observed by means of electromagnetic radiation,

Global monopoles in Horndeski theory

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In this article, global monopole solutions will be presented for the Horndeski theory by solving linearized field equations. We obtain two different classes of solutions depending on whether the Horndeski scalar field is massless or massive.

A new estimator of the deceleration parameter from galaxy rotation curves

open access: yes, 2016
Invited presentation at the 7th KIAS Workshop on Structure Formation and Cosmology (2016), accompanying https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.162267. Inertia is perturbed when the Rindler horizon drops beyond the cosmological horizon. Implication are confronted

Hydrostatic Equilibrium Constraints in X-COP Galaxy Clusters: Testing Hyperconical Modified Gravity in Hot-gas-dominated Regions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) was originally proposed to model galaxy rotation curves without dark matter. However, MOND presents difficulties in explaining the radial acceleration relation observed in galaxy clusters, and moreover, it does not ...

Decoding the Galactic Twirl: The Downfall of Milky Way–Mass Galaxy Rotation Curves in the FIRE Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent measurements of the Milky Way rotation curve found a sharp decline at around 15–20 kpc from the center of the Galaxy, suggesting that the Galactic dark matter halo is much less massive than predicted by other dynamical tracers.

Distinct gas and stellar circular velocity curves in the Milky Way

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The rotational velocity of interstellar gas in the Milky Way has been taken to represent the circular velocity of a test particle in the Galaxy’s gravitational field, and hence an indicator of the Galaxy’s mass.

The Nearly Universal Disk Galaxy Rotation Curve

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The universal rotation curve (URC) of disk galaxies was originally proposed to predict the shape and amplitude of any rotation curve (RC) based solely on photometric data.

Perfect fluid dark matter: a viability test with galaxy rotation curves

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The anomalous rotation curves of galaxies provide compelling evidence for dark matter, yet its fundamental nature and distribution remain key unresolved issues in astrophysics.

Modeling the Mass Distribution and Gravitational Potential of Nearby Disk Galaxies: Implications for the Interstellar Medium Dynamical Equilibrium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We characterize stellar, gas, and dark matter mass distributions for 17 nearby massive disk galaxies from the PHANGS sample. This allows us to compute the gravitational potential that vertically confines the interstellar gas and determines its ...
