We show that the shape of the observed distribution of Milky Way (MW) satellites is inconsistent with being drawn from a cosmological sub-structure population with a confidence of 99.5 per cent. Most of the MW satellites therefore cannot be related to dark-matter dominated satellites.

  1. The tidal features of the classical Milky Way satellites: Expected in MOND but inconsistent with cold dark matter models

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Classical MW satellites have high MOND tidal susceptibility at pericentre that matches their observed tidal features and elevated dispersions, while CDM predicts they should be largely resilient.

  2. The Edge-on Galaxies in the DESI survey (EGIDE): sample building and photometry

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The EGIDE project releases a tenfold larger catalogue of edge-on galaxies with griz photometry, stellar masses, redshifts and star formation rates, finding that red-sequence galaxies are thicker than blue-cloud ones a...

  3. Variable gravitational potential of Milky Way analogues in HESTIA suite

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The gravitational potential of Milky Way analogues at large radii is significantly shaped by the Local Group environment, so orbit models must include it.

  4. The satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and Andromeda

    astro-ph.GA 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A field review of Local Group dwarf satellites, their discovery, observed properties, and use as dark matter and galaxy evolution probes.
