In recent years, there has been an increasing number of scientific papers announcing the discovery of galaxies without dark matter. Dark matter is supposed to bind ordinary matter and accelerate the formation of galaxies. Therefore, the existence of galaxies lacking dark matter is difficult to fit into the current paradigm of galaxy formation and evolution. In this talk, I will review some of the best-known examples of dark matter-deficient galaxies and what solutions the scientific community has proposed to explain the mysterious nature of these objects.
Bio: Ignacio Trujillo is a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). Ignacio holds a PhD in astrophysics from the University of La Laguna and has been a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg and the University of Nottingham. Dr.Trujillo is a specialist in galaxy formation and evolution. His current work focuses on ultra-deep imaging with the world's most advanced telescopes to test the dark matter paradigm and models of galaxy formation.
