Conformal gravity does not predict flat galaxy rotation curves

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, , , | Summary: We reconsider the widely held view that the Mannheim–Kazanas (MK) vacuum solution for a static, spherically-symmetric system in conformal gravity (CG) predicts flat rotation curves, such as those observed in galaxies, without the need for dark matter. This prediction […]

Spatial Decorrelation of Young Stars and Dense Gas as a Probe of the Star Formation-Feedback Cycle in Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey V. Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vadim A. Semenov, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: The spatial decorrelation of dense molecular gas and young stars observed on $lesssim 1$ kiloparsec scales in nearby galaxies indicates rapid dispersal of star-forming regions by stellar feedback. We explore the sensitivity of this […]

The HST See Change Program: I. Survey Design, Pipeline, and Supernova Discoveries

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone, Greg Aldering, Jakob Nordin | Summary: The See Change survey was designed to make $z>1$ cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measurements through weak lensing. This survey observed twelve galaxy clusters with […]

Direct visualization of superselective colloid-surface binding mediated by multivalent interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Liedewij Laan | First 5 Authors: Christine Linne, Daniele Visco, Stefano Angioletti-Uberti, Liedewij Laan, Daniela J. Kraft | Summary: Reliably distinguishing between cells based on minute differences in receptor density is crucial for cell-cell or virus-cell recognition, the initiation of signal transduction and selective targeting in directed drug delivery. Such sharp differentiation between […]
