DWARFS IN HIPASS AND SDSS

Their properties merge smoothly with giants and show no extra

Dark Matter

HOW MUCH GLOBAL INFORMATION/ GALAXY?

• HOW MANY PHYSICAL PARAMETERS COULD CONTROL GALAXIES?

• Total Mass, Baryon fract, Ang Mom,Radius, Concentration,Gas Mass,Age; ie SEVEN LESS 1 for Virial Theorem. Therefore SIX physical params.

• HOW MANY INDEPENDENT OBSERVABLES CAN BE MEASURED?

• Eg Lum, Radius, Concentration, M(HI), Internal Vel disp, Colour ……ie SIX too.

HOW MUCH INDEPENDENCE?

• We find 200 objects in HI Blind survey coincident with SDSS images and correlate all the following props:Lum, Colour, Radius,M(HI), R(90)/R(50), and M(dyn).

• Each indep correl must reduce 6 independent variables by 1.

• We find 5 correls (one new).Thus HI selected Galaxies form a ONE PARAMETER SET.

• This is confirmed by Principal Component Analysis.

OBSERVE THE REAL SKY

• This high degree of organisation is totally inconsistent with Hierarchical galaxy Formation.(at least 4) and mergers.

• Galaxy astronomers should look at their observations free of prejudices drawn from cosmological simulations which look increasingly misleading!

• Observations of Galaxies contain far more reliable information about the process of Gal formation than numerical simulations.
