Abstract: There is increasing evidence from simulations and observations that the center of the dark matter halo in a Milky Way-type galaxy could be off-center by a few 100 pc with respect to the galactic disk.… read more here.

Abstract: An m = 1 lopsided asymmetry is common in disc galaxies. Here, we investigate the excitation of an m = 1 lopsidedness in host galaxies during minor mergers while choosing a set of 1:10 merger… read more here.
