Testing dark matter models and modified gravity theories with spatially resolved HI observations

Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the most pressing questions of modern physics.

Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the most pressing questions of modern physics. The flat rotation curves of galaxies, especially the extended HI rotation curves from radio observations at 21 cm, played a key historical role to establish the DM problem and…
