Collisional debris around interacting and post-interacting galaxies often display condensations of gas and young stars that can potentially form gravitationally bound objects: Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs). We summarise recent results on TDGs, which are originally published in Lelli et al. (2015, A&A). We study a sample of six TDGs around three different interacting systems, using high-resolution HI observations from the Very Large Array. We find that the HI emission associated to TDGs can be described by rotating disc models. These discs, however, would have undergone less than one orbit since the time of the TDG formation, raising the question of whether they are in dynamical equilibrium. Assuming that TDGs are in dynamical equilibrium, we find that the ratio of dynamical mass to baryonic mass is consistent with one, implying that TDGs are devoid of dark matter. This is in line with the results of numerical simulations where tidal forces effectively segregate dark matter in the halo from baryonic matter in the disc, which ends up forming tidal tails and TDGs.

  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

    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. Constraints on the gravitational potential from DESI DR2 BAO and its implications for the local void scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    A fixed gravitational-redshift contribution from a local void fits high-redshift data almost as well as ΛCDM, but the data currently favour z0=0.

  3. Constraints on the gravitational potential from DESI DR2 BAO and its implications for the local void scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    High-redshift datasets constrain the local void gravitational redshift parameter z0 to be consistent with zero but allow the value needed for Hubble tension solution.

  4. The age of the Universe from a large sample of the oldest Galactic stars

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Stellar age analysis of a large Galactic sample gives a cosmic age of 13.73 Gyr, consistent with LambdaCDM but inconsistent with some Hubble tension resolutions implying 12.9 Gyr.
