A Numerical Study of the Chemo-Dynamical Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies
We investigate the chemo-dynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies, to understand the origin of the mass-dependence of photometric properties such as

Are High-Velocity Clouds the Building Blocks of the Local Group?
Motivated by the apparent order-of-magnitude discrepancy between the observed number of Local Group satellite galaxies, and that predicted by Lambda-CDM

Characterization and Status of a Terahertz Telescope
The Receiver Lab Telescope (RLT) is a ground-based terahertz observatory, located at an altitude of 5525 m on Cerro Sairecabur,

Clumps of hydrogenous planetoids as the dark matter of galaxies
Nonlinear gravitational condensation theory and quasar-microlensing observations lead to the conclusion that the baryonic mass of most galaxies is dominated

Dark matter at viscous-gravitational Schwarz scales: theory and observations
The Jeans criterion for the minimum self-gravitational condensation scale is extended to include the possibility of condensation on non-acoustic density

Dark matter formation at Schwarz scales: primordial fog particles and WIMP superhalos
Dark matter appears in two forms as a consequence of the fluid mechanics of self-gravitational condensation. Condensation occurs primarily on

Do High-Velocity Clouds Really Fuel Galactic Star Formation?
Tantalizing evidence has been presented supporting the suggestion that a large population of extragalactic gas clouds permeates the Local Group,

Evidence for Hydro-Gravitational Structure Formation Theory versus Cold-Dark-Matter, Hierarchical-Clustering, and Jeans 1902
Observations are compared to conflicting predictions about self-gravitational structure formation by the hydro-gravitational theory (HGT) of Gibson 1996-2003 versus cold-dark-matter
