Abstract: Velocity dispersion (σ) is a key driver for galaxy structure and evolution. We here present a comprehensive semi-empirical approach to compute σ via detailed Jeans modelling assuming both a constant and scale-dependent mass-to-light ratio M*/L.… read more here.

Abstract: The internal dynamics of globular clusters (GCs) is strongly affected by two-body interactions that bring the systems to a state of partial energy equipartition. Using a set of Monte Carlo clusters simulations, we investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty523
Abstract: Mass models of a sample of 171 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are presented in the context of the cold dark matter (CDM) theory using the NFW dark matter halo density distribution to extract a… read more here.
