FLOSS_Stammtisch is Tuesday night in Mesa, Arizona

St Patricks Day is busy in pubs, so we might be a couple doors down from Boulders at Green Corner for Greek food

We meet monthly at 19:00 AZ time ( UTC-7 ) for conversation, food and drinks on the third Tuesday

Location - Boulders on Southern, 1010 W Southern Ave, Mesa, AZ

A galaxy is a massive system bound together by gravity that contains stars and surrounding matter, stellar remnants, interstellar matter, and dark matter, all orbiting a common center of gravity. Typical galaxies range from as few as 10 million stars up to supergiants with 100 trillion stars, but most of the mass is dark matter. The Solar System is in the Milky Way ga...

Tango of Titans: Centaurus A and M83 as a Local Group Analog

Tango of Titans: Centaurus A and M83 as a Local Group Analog

Centaurus A (CenA) and M83 form one of the most massive galaxy pairs in the nearby Universe. Although their observed heliocentric velocities suggest motion that is not obviously indicative of mutual attraction, this work presents evidence that CenA and M83 are in fact infalling toward each other, exhibiting a dynamical interaction analogous to the binary-like motion of the Milky Way and Andromeda in the Local Group (LG). Using the Timing Argument (TA), calibrated with analog galaxy pairs from the AbacusSummit simulation, we estimate the total mass of the CenA/M83 system under the assumption that the line-of-sight (LoS) velocity is dominated by motion toward the system's barycenter. This yields a total mass of $(6.36 \pm 1.30) \cdot 10^{12}\, M_\odot$. The inferred mass agrees well with independent estimates based on virial mass measurements and $K$-band luminosity--to-mass ratios. Together, the consistent bound signature and robust mass determination highlight the CenA/M83 system as a compelling nearby analog to the LG. Further discussion of NGC 4945 as a main perturber (as the Large Magellanic Could) for the CenA is also discussed.
