“The absolute by its very rigidity drives our thought towards the sky and makes it float in limitless space. But nothing is better than dreaming to engender the future.”

- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables -

    New techniques are developed for producing synthetic catalogues of galaxies
  • This image presents the region around the galaxy NGC 1052-DF4, taken by the IAC80 telescope at the Teide Observatory in Tenerife. The figure highlights the main galaxies in the field-of-view, including NGC 1052-DF4 (center of the image), and its neighbor NGC 1035 (center left).
    A mechanism for removing dark matter from galaxies has been found
  • Dark matter in two galaxies simulated on a computer. The only difference between them is the nature of dark matter. Without collisions on the left and with collisions on the right. The work suggests that dark matter in real galaxies looks more like the image on the right, less clumpy and more diffuse than the one on the left. The circle marks the end of the galaxy.
