Conventional Newtonian rotation curve of the thin disc, v K (r, 0), and the respective v b (r, 0), v d (r) and v h (r, 0), for a Milky Way-like galaxy with M b = 0.8·10 10 M⊙, R b = 0.8 kpc, M d = 8.1 · 10 10 M⊙, r d = 2.1 kpc, R DM = 5.69 kpc and ρ DM 0 = 1.88 · 10 −21 kg/m 3 .

A new Newtonian limit of general relativity is established for stationary axisymmetric gravitationally bound differentially rotating matter distributions with internal pressure. The self-consistent coupling of quasilocal gravitational energy and angular momentum leads to a modified Poisson equation. The coupled equations of motion of the effective...

Aims. We aim to investigate the influence of the distance to filaments and dark-matter haloes on galaxy cold-gas content in the empirical model N EUTRAL U NIVERSE M ACHINE (NUM) and the hydrodynamical simulation IllustrisTNG.
Methods. We used DisPerSE to identify cosmic web structures and calculate the distance of galaxies to filaments for both obs...
The gravitational lensing of supermassive black holes surrounded by dark matter halo has attracted a great number of interests in recent years. However, many studies employed simplified dark matter density models, which makes it very hard to give a precise prediction on the dark matter effects in real astrophysical galaxies. In this work, to more a...
The dynamics of the merger of a dwarf disc galaxy with a massive spiral galaxy of the Milky Way type have been studied in detail. The remnant of such interaction after numerous crossings of the satellite through the disc of the main galaxy is a compact stellar core, the characteristics of which are close to small compact elliptical galaxies (cEs) o...
We present optical and near-infrared archival observations of eight edge-on galaxies. These observations are used to model the stellar content of each galaxy using the FitSKIRT software package. Using FitSKIRT, we can self-consistently model a galaxy in each band simultaneously while treating for dust. This allows us to accurately measure both the...
While elementary particles are the favored candidate for the elusive dark matter, primordial black holes (PBHs) have also been considered to fill that role. Gravitational microlensing is a very well-suited tool to detect and measure the abundance of compact objects in galaxies. Previous studies based on quasar microlensing exclude a significant pre...
