Corda, Mosquera Cuesta, and Lorduy Gòmez have shown that spherically symmetric stationary states can be used as a model for galaxies in the framework of the linearizedR2gravity. Those states could represent a partial solution to the Dark Matter Problem. Here, we discuss an improvement of this work. In fact, as the star density is a functional of the invariants of the associated Vlasov equation, we show that any of these invariants is in its turn a functional of the local energy and the angular momentum. As a consequence, the star density depends only on these two integrals of the Vlasov system. This result is known as the “Jeans theorem.” In addition, we find an analogy of the historical Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation for the system considered in this paper. For the sake of completeness, in the final section of the paper, we consider two additional models which argue that Dark Matter could not be an essential element.

AbstractThe degree to which outer dark matter halos of spiral galaxies rotate with the disk is sensitive to their accretion history and may be probed with associated satellite galaxies. We use the Steward Observatory Bok telescope to measure the sense of rotation of nearby isolated spirals and combine these data with those of their associated satellites (drawn from SDSS) to directly test predictions from numerical simulations. We aim to constrain models of galaxy formation by measuring the projected component of the halo angular momentum that is aligned with that of spiral galaxy disks, Jz. We find the mean bulk rotation of the ensemble satellite system to be co-rotating with the disk with a velocity of 22 ± 13 km/s, in general agreement with previous observational studies and suggesting that galaxy disks could be formed by halo baryons collapsing by a factor of ≈10. We also find a prograde satellite fraction of 51% and Jz, of the satellite system to be positively correlated with the disk, albeit at low significance (2655 ± 2232 kpc km/s).

We report the discovery of a partial conservation law obeyed by a schematic Hamiltonian of two protons and two neutrons in a [Formula: see text] shell. In our Hamiltonian, the interaction matrix element of two nucleons with combined angular momentum [Formula: see text] is linear in [Formula: see text] for even [Formula: see text] and constant for odd [Formula: see text]. It turns out that in some stationary states, the sum of the angular momenta [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the proton and neutron pairs is conserved. The energies of these states are given by a linear function of [Formula: see text]. The systematics of their occurrence is described and explained.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a new method of calculating dark matter density profiles for superthin axial symmetric galaxies without a bulge. This method is based on a simple physical model, which includes an infinitely thin galactic disc immersed in a spherically symmetric halo of dark matter. To obtain the desired distribution density, it suffices to know a distribution of visible matter surface density in a galaxy and a dependence of angular velocity on the radius. As a byproduct, the well-known expression, which reproduces surface density of a superthin galaxy expressed through a rotation law, was obtained.

We present a simple technique to estimate mass-to-light (M/L) ratios of stellar populations based on two broadband photometry measurements, i.e. a colour-M/L relation. We apply the colour-M/L relation to galaxy rotation curves, using a large set of galaxies that span a great range in Hubble type, luminosity and scale size and that have accurately measured HI and/or Hα rotation curves. Using the colour-M/L relation, we construct stellar mass models of the galaxies and derive the dark matter contribution to the rotation curves.We compare our dark matter rotation curves with adiabatically contracted Navarro, Frenk, & White (1997, NFW hereafter) dark matter halos. We find that before adiabatic contraction most high surface brightness galaxies and some low surface brightness galaxies are well fit by a NFW dark matter profile. However, after adiabatic contraction, most galaxies are poorly fit in the central few kpc. the observed angular momentum distribution in the baryonic component is poorly matched by ACDM model predictions, indicating that the angular momentum distribution is not conserved during the galaxy assembly process. We find that in most galaxies the dark matter distribution can be derived by scaling up the HI gas contribution. However, we find no consistent value for the scaling factor among all the galaxies.

ABSTRACT We study non-linear response of spinning dark matter (DM) haloes to dynamic and secular evolution of stellar bars in the embedded galactic discs, using high-resolution numerical simulations. For a sequence of haloes with the cosmological spin parameter λ = 0–0.09, and a representative angular momentum distribution, we analyse evolution of induced DM bars amplitude and quantify parameters of the response as well as trapping of DM orbits and angular momentum transfer by the main and secondary resonances. We find that (1) maximal amplitude of DM bars depends strongly on λ, while that of the stellar bars is indifferent to λ; (2) efficiency of resonance trapping of DM orbits by the bar increases with λ, and so is the mass and the volume of DM bars; (3) contribution of resonance transfer of angular momentum to the DM halo increases with λ, and for larger spin, the DM halo ‘talks’ to itself, by moving the angular momentum to larger radii – this process is maintained by resonances; and (4) prograde and retrograde DM orbits play different roles in angular momentum transfer. The ‘active’ part of the halo extends well beyond the bar region, up to few times the bar length in equatorial plane and away from this plane. (5) We model evolution of discless DM haloes and haloes with frozen discs, and found them to be perfectly stable to any Fourier modes. Finally, further studies adopting a range of mass and specific angular momentum distributions of the DM halo will generalize the dependence of DM response on the halo spin and important implications for direct detection of DM and that of the associated stellar tracers, such as streamers.

We investigate effects of the minimal length on quantum tunnelling from spherically symmetric black holes using the Hamilton-Jacobi method incorporating the minimal length. We first derive the deformed Hamilton-Jacobi equations for scalars and fermions, both of which have the same expressions. The minimal length correction to the Hawking temperature is found to depend on the black hole’s mass and the mass and angular momentum of emitted particles. Finally, we calculate a Schwarzschild black hole's luminosity and find the black hole evaporates to zero mass in infinite time.
