[HTML][HTML] Observational evidence for primordial black holes: A positivist perspective

BJ Carr, S Clesse, J Garcia-Bellido, MRS Hawkins… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
We review numerous arguments for primordial black holes (PBHs) based on observational
evidence from a variety of lensing, dynamical, accretion and gravitational-wave effects. This …

The galaxy in context: structural, kinematic, and integrated properties

J Bland-Hawthorn, O Gerhard - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is a benchmark for understanding disk galaxies. It is the only
galaxy whose formation history can be studied using the full distribution of stars from faint …

The milky way total mass profile as inferred from Gaia DR2

M Cautun, A Benitez-Llambay… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT We determine the Milky Way (MW) mass profile inferred from fitting physically
motivated models to the Gaia DR2 Galactic rotation curve and other data. Using various …

galpy: A python Library for Galactic Dynamics

J Bovy - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT I describe the design, implementation, and usage of galpy, a python package for
galactic-dynamics calculations. At its core, galpy consists of a general framework for …

The distribution of dark matter in galaxies

P Salucci - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2019 - Springer
The distribution of the non-luminous matter in galaxies of different luminosity and Hubble
type is much more than a proof of the existence of dark particles governing the structures of …

Short-duration gamma-ray bursts

E Berger - Annual review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution with a separation between
the short-and long-duration bursts at about 2 s. The progenitors of long GRBs have been …

Theoretical challenges in galaxy formation

T Naab, JP Ostriker - Annual review of astronomy and …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Numerical simulations have become a major tool for understanding galaxy formation and
evolution. Over the decades the field has made significant progress. It is now possible to …

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND): observational phenomenology and relativistic extensions

B Famaey, SS McGaugh - Living reviews in relativity, 2012 - Springer
A wealth of astronomical data indicate the presence of mass discrepancies in the Universe.
The motions observed in a variety of classes of extragalactic systems exceed what can be …

The mass distribution and gravitational potential of the Milky Way

PJ McMillan - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We present mass models of the Milky Way created to fit observational constraints and to be
consistent with expectations from theoretical modelling. The method used to create these …
