Evaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...
متن کاملThe star formation main sequence and stellar mass assembly of galaxies in the Illustris simulation
Understanding the physical processes that drive star formation is a key challenge for galaxy formation models. In this paper, we study the tight correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass of galaxies at a given redshift, how halo growth influences star formation, and star formation histories of individual galaxies. We study these topics using Illustris, a state-of-the-ar...
متن کاملEvolution of galaxies in triaxial halos with figure rotation
Firstly, we demonstrate that unusually large outer HI spiral arms observed in NGC 2915 can form in an extended gas disk embedded in a massive triaxial dark matter halo with slow figure rotation, through the strong gravitational torque of the rotating halo. Secondly, we show that the figure rotation of a triaxial dark matter halo can influence dynamical evolution of disk galaxies by using fully ...
متن کاملRotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies
Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are the major tool for determining the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. They provide fundamental information for understanding the dynamics, evolution and formation of spiral galaxies. We describe various methods to derive rotation curves, and review the results obtained. We discuss the basic characteristics of observed rotation curves in relation to v...
متن کاملCentral Rotation Curves of Galaxies
We emphasize the use of high-resolution CO line observations to derive central rotation curves of galaxies. We present an example for high-resolution interferometer observations of NGC 3079, and discuss the PV diagram and derived rotation curve. The CO central rotation curves are combined with the outer curves from Hα and HI-line observations to obtain total RC. We show that well resolved RCs f...
