The majority of recent hydrodynamical simulations indicate the creation of central cores in the mass profiles of low-mass halos, a process that is attributed to star formation-related baryonic feedback. Core creation is regarded as one of the most promising solutions to potential issues faced by the lambda cold dark matter (LambdaCDM) cosmology on small scales. For example, the reduced dynamical mass enclosed by cores can explain the low rotational velocities measured for nearby dwarf galaxies, thus possibly lifting the seeming contradiction with the LambdaCDM expectations (the so-called too big to fail problem). Here we test core creation as a solution of cosmological issues by using a sample of dwarfs with measurements of their atomic hydrogen (HI) kinematics extending to large radii. Using the NIHAO hydrodynamical simulation as an example, we show that core creation can successfully reproduce the kinematics of dwarfs with small kinematic radii, R <~ 1.5 kpc. However, the agreement with observations becomes poor once galaxies with kinematic measurements extending beyond the core region, R ~ 1.5 - 4 kpc, are considered. This result illustrates the importance of testing the predictions of hydrodynamical simulations that are relevant for cosmology against a broad range of observational samples. We would like to stress that our result is valid only under the following set of assumptions: i) that our sample of dwarfs with HI kinematics is representative of the overall population of field dwarfs, ii) that there are no severe measurement biases in the observational parameters of our HI dwarfs (e.g., related to inclination estimates), and iii) that the HI velocity fields of dwarfs are regular enough to allow the recovery of the true enclosed dynamical mass.
Radio observations suggest that 3C 75, located in the dumbbell shaped galaxy NGC 1128 at the center of Abell 400, hosts two colliding jets. Motivated by this source, we perform three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations using a modified version of
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are the central engines of luminous quasars and are found in most massive galaxies today. But the recent discoveries of ULAS J1120+0641, a $2 times 10^9$ M$_{odot}$ BH at $z =$ 7.1, and ULAS J1342+0928, a $8.0 times 1
The extent of mixed regions around convective zones is one of the biggest uncertainties in stellar evolution. 1D overshooting descriptions introduce a free parameter ($f_{ov}$) that is in general not well constrained from observations. Especially in
By analysing a sample of galaxies selected from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) to contain more than 2.5 times their expected HI content based on their optical properties, we investigate what drives these HI eXtreme (HIX) galaxies to be so HI-r
HI line widths are typically interpreted as a measure of ISM turbulence, which is potentially driven by star formation. In an effort to better understand the possible connections between line widths and star formation, we have characterized hi{} kine
