Renzo Sancisi (INAF-Bologna), Filippo Fraternali (Bologna University)
TL;DR
This paper re-examines Malin 1, a giant low surface brightness galaxy, using new radio and optical data to better understand its dark matter and luminous matter characteristics.
Contribution
It provides new insights into Malin 1's dark and luminous matter distribution through re-analysis of existing observations.
Findings
Revised dark matter dominance in Malin 1
New insights into the galaxy's luminous matter distribution
Enhanced understanding of low surface brightness galaxy properties
Abstract
Malin 1 has long been considered a prototype giant, dark matter dominated Low Surface Brightness galaxy. Two recent studies, one based on a re-analysis of VLA HI observations and the other on an archival Hubble I-band image, throw a new light on this enigmatic galaxy and on its dark/luminous matter properties.
