Not all Black Holes that Wander are Lost
The surprising result of a search for radio AGN in nearby dwarf galaxies
Not Far in the Dark
To confirm whether some galaxies have suspiciously low amounts of dark matter, we need to be sure how far away they are.
Dwarf Galaxies without Dark Matter
Today’s paper looks at observations of 19 low mass galaxies which appear to contain no dark matter, potentially challenging our overall understanding of galaxy formation.
Looking Deeper at Milky Way Satellite Dwarf Galaxy Candidates
Four new Milky Way dwarf satellite candidates were discovered in 2015 using the Dark Energy Survey. Fainter imaging data are used to further investigate their exact nature.
Where Did All the Dark Matter Go?
The discovery of a second dark matter deficient galaxy by van Dokkum et al. has caused the debate on galaxies lacking dark matter to resurface.
Small, but Mighty! A galaxy robbed of its stars but contains a supermassive secret.
Today’s paper explores a rather interesting galaxy which seems to have a black hole much more massive than expected, and whether it’s next-door neighbour had anything to do with it…!
