We use the IllustrisTNG (TNG) cosmological simulations to provide theoretical expectations for the dark matter mass fractions (DMFs) and circular velocity profiles of galaxies. TNG predicts flat circular velocity curves for $z = 0$ Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies beyond a few kpc from the galaxy centre, in better agreement with observational constraints than its predecessor, Illustris. TNG also predicts an enhancement of the dark matter mass within the 3D stellar half-mass radius ($r_mathrm{half}$; $M_mathrm{200c} = 10^{10}-10^{13}mathrm{M}_{odot}$, $z le2$) compared to its dark matter only and Illustris counterparts. This enhancement leads TNG present-day galaxies to be dominated by dark matter within their inner regions, with $f_mathrm{DM}(<r_mathrm{half})gtrsim0.5$ at all masses and with a minimum for MW-mass galaxies. The 1$sigma$ scatter is $lesssim$ 10~per~cent at all apertures, which is smaller than that inferred by some observational datasets, e.g. 40 per cent from the SLUGGS survey. TNG agrees with the majority of the observationally inferred values for elliptical galaxies once a consistent IMF is adopted (Chabrier) and the DMFs are measured within the same apertures. The DMFs measured within $r_mathrm{half}$ increase towards lower redshifts: this evolution is dominated by the increase in galaxy size with time. At $zsim2$, the DMF in disc-like TNG galaxies decreases with increasing galaxy mass, with $f_mathrm{DM}(<r_mathrm{half}) sim 0.10-0.65$ for $10^{10} lesssim M_{rm stars}/mathrm{M}_{odot} lesssim 10^{12}$, and are two times higher than if TNG galaxies resided in Navarro-Frenk-White dark matter haloes unaffected by baryonic physics. It remains to be properly assessed whether recent observational estimates of the DMFs at $zsim2$ rule out the contraction of the dark matter haloes predicted by the TNG model.

Large galaxies may contain an atmosphere of hot interstellar X-ray gas, and the temperature and radial density profile of this gas can be used to measure the total mass of the galaxy contained within a given radius r. We use this technique for 102 ea rly-type galaxies (ETGs) with stellar masses M_* > 10^10 M_Sun, to evaluate the mass fraction of dark matter (DM) within the fiducial radius r = 5 r_e, denoted f_5 = f_{DM}(5r_e). On average, these systems have a median f_5 = 0.8 - 0.9 with a typical galaxy-to-galaxy scatter +-0.15. Comparisons with mass estimates made through the alternative techniques of satellite dynamics (e.g. velocity distributions of globular clusters, planetary nebulae, satellite dwarfs) as well as strong lensing show encouraging consistency over the same range of stellar mass. We find that many of the disk galaxies (S0/SA0/SB0) have a significantly higher mean $f_5$ than do the pure ellipticals, by Delta f_5 = 0.1. We suggest that this higher level may be a consequence of sparse stellar haloes and quieter histories with fewer major episodes of feedback or mergers. Comparisons are made with the Magneticum Pathfinder suite of simulations for both normal and centrally dominant Brightest Cluster galaxies. Though the observed data exhibit somewhat larger scatter at a given galaxy mass than do the simulations, the mean level of DM mass fraction for all classes of galaxies is in good first-order agreement with the simulations. Lastly, we find that the group galaxies with stellar masses near M_* ~ 10^11 M_Sun have relatively more outliers at low $f_5$ than in other mass ranges, possibly the result of especially effective AGN feedback in that mass range leading to expansion of their dark matter halos.

Hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation have now reached sufficient volume to make precision predictions for clustering on cosmologically relevant scales. Here we use our new IllustrisTNG simulations to study the non-linear correlation functio ns and power spectra of baryons, dark matter, galaxies and haloes over an exceptionally large range of scales. We find that baryonic effects increase the clustering of dark matter on small scales and damp the total matter power spectrum on scales up to k ~ 10 h/Mpc by 20%. The non-linear two-point correlation function of the stellar mass is close to a power-law over a wide range of scales and approximately invariant in time from very high redshift to the present. The two-point correlation function of the simulated galaxies agrees well with SDSS at its mean redshift z ~ 0.1, both as a function of stellar mass and when split according to galaxy colour, apart from a mild excess in the clustering of red galaxies in the stellar mass range 10^9-10^10 Msun/h^2. Given this agreement, the TNG simulations can make valuable theoretical predictions for the clustering bias of different galaxy samples. We find that the clustering length of the galaxy auto-correlation function depends strongly on stellar mass and redshift. Its power-law slope gamma is nearly invariant with stellar mass, but declines from gamma ~ 1.8 at redshift z=0 to gamma ~ 1.6 at redshift z ~ 1, beyond which the slope steepens again. We detect significant scale-dependencies in the bias of different observational tracers of large-scale structure, extending well into the range of the baryonic acoustic oscillations and causing nominal (yet fortunately correctable) shifts of the acoustic peaks of around ~5%.
We present a joint estimate of the stellar/dark matter mass fraction in lens galaxies and the average size of the accretion disk of lensed quasars from microlensing measurements of 27 quasar image pairs seen through 19 lens galaxies. The Bayesian est imate for the fraction of the surface mass density in the form of stars is $alpha=0.21pm0.14$ near the Einstein radius of the lenses ($sim 1 - 2$ effective radii). The estimate for the average accretion disk size is $R_{1/2}=7.9^{+3.8}_{-2.6}sqrt{M/0.3M_sun}$ light days. The fraction of mass in stars at these radii is significantly larger than previous estimates from microlensing studies assuming quasars were point-like. The corresponding local dark matter fraction of 79% is in good agreement with other estimates based on strong lensing or kinematics. The size of the accretion disk inferred in the present study is slightly larger than previous estimates.
The IllustrisTNG project is a new suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation performed with the Arepo code and updated models for feedback physics. Here we introduce the first two simulations of the series, TNG100 an d TNG300, and quantify the stellar mass content of about 4000 massive galaxy groups and clusters ($10^{13} leq M_{rm 200c}/M_{rm sun} leq 10^{15}$) at recent times ($z leq 1$). The richest clusters have half of their total stellar mass bound to satellite galaxies, with the other half being associated with the central galaxy and the diffuse intra-cluster light. The exact ICL fraction depends sensitively on the definition of a central galaxys mass and varies in our most massive clusters between 20 to 40% of the total stellar mass. Haloes of $5times 10^{14}M_{rm sun}$ and above have more diffuse stellar mass outside 100 kpc than within 100 kpc, with power-law slopes of the radial mass density distribution as shallow as the dark matters ( $-3.5 < alpha_{rm 3D} < -3$). Total halo mass is a very good predictor of stellar mass, and vice versa: at $z=0$, the 3D stellar mass measured within 30 kpc scales as $propto (M_{rm 500c})^{0.49}$ with a $sim 0.12$ dex scatter. This is possibly too steep in comparison to the available observational constraints, even though the abundance of TNG less massive galaxies ($< 10^{11}M_{rm sun}$ in stars) is in good agreement with the measured galaxy stellar mass functions at recent epochs. The 3D sizes of massive galaxies fall too on a tight ($sim$0.16 dex scatter) power-law relation with halo mass, with $r^{rm stars}_{rm 0.5} propto (M_{rm 500c})^{0.53}$. Even more fundamentally, halo mass alone is a good predictor for the whole stellar mass profiles beyond the inner few kpc, and we show how on average these can be precisely recovered given a single mass measurement of the galaxy or its halo.
We present a observational study of the dark matter fraction in 225 rotation supported star-forming galaxies at $zapprox 0.9$ having stellar mass range: $ 9.0 leq log(M_* mathrm{M_odot}) leq 11.0$ and star formation rate: $0.49 leq log left(SFR mat hrm{[M_{odot} yr^{-1}]} right) leq 1.77$. This is a sub sample of KMOS redshift one spectroscopic survey (KROSS) previously studied by citet{GS20}. The stellar masses ($M_*$) of these objects were previously estimated using mass-to-light ratios derived from fitting the spectral energy distribution of the galaxies. Star formation rates were derived from the H$_alpha$ luminosities. The total gas masses ($M_{gas}$) are determined by scaling relations of molecular and atomic gas citep[][respectively] {Tacconi2018, Lagos2011}. The dynamical masses ($M_{dyn}$) are directly derived from the rotation curves (RCs) at different scale lengths (effective radius: $R_e$, $sim 2 R_e$ and $sim 3 R_e$) and then the dark matter fractions ($f_{ DM }=1-M_{bar}/M_{dyn}$) at these radii are calculated. We report that at $zsim 1$ only a small fraction ($sim 5%$) of our sample has a low ($< 20%$) DM fraction within $sim$ 2-3 $R_e$. The majority ($> 72%$) of SFGs in our sample have dark matter dominated outer disks ($sim 5-10$ kpc) in agreement with local SFGs. Moreover, we find a large scatter in the fraction of dark matter at a given stellar mass (or circular velocity) with respect to local SFGs, suggesting that galaxies at $z sim 1$, a) span a wide range of stages in the formation of stellar disks, b) have diverse DM halo properties coupled with baryons.
