Descripción
A recent study by Farnes (2018, A&A, 620, A92) proposed an
alternative cosmological model in which both dark matter and dark energy
are replaced with a single fluid of negative mass. This paper presents a
critical review of that model. A number of problems and discrepancies
with observations are identified. For instance, the predicted shape and
density of galactic dark matter halos are incorrect. Also, halos would
need to be less massive than the baryonic component, otherwise they
would become gravitationally unstable. Perhaps the most challenging
problem in this theory is the presence of a large-scale version of the
"runaway effect", which would result in all galaxies moving in random
directions at nearly the speed of light. Other more general issues
regarding negative mass in general relativity are discussed, such as the
possibility of time-travel paradoxes.

Magnetismo, Polarización y Transferencia Radiativa en Astrofísica
Los campos magnéticos están presentes en todos los plasmas astrofísicos y controlan la mayor parte de la variabilidad que se observa en el Universo a escalas temporales intermedias. Se encuentran en estrellas, a lo largo de todo el diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell, en galaxias, e incluso quizás en el medio intergaláctico. La polarización de la luz
