  1. Box Quantization: Vague Ideas
  2. The Critical Mass in Galaxy Evolution: Mishra et al. 2026 May01: Preetish K. Mishra, et al., arXiv, 2026, Apr30, 14 pages: Research On galaxy quenching and an explication of the golden mass 10**12 M_☉ of Avishai Dekel et al. (2019).
  3. Modelling the expulsion of baryons from haloes from first principles: the role of feedback and of the cosmological constant: Veenema et al 2026 Mar13: Oscar Veenema, Daniele Sorini, Sownak Bose arXiv, 2026, Mar13, 21 pages: Research: On cosmological constant Λ, dark energy (Λ) dark matter halos, baryonic matter, and missing baryon problem (AKA missing mass problem): "In cosmologies with Λ>&Lambda_0, dark energy emerges as the dominant factor in this process -- suggesting that, as our Universe transitions towards Λ-domination, dark energy eventually becomes the primary driver of baryon evacuation from massive haloes."

    2. missing baryon problem in halos (see McGaugh et al. 2010). The missing baryon problem in halos is that the in dark matter halos the baryon fraction f=Ω_b/&Omega_(b-cosmic) < 1. In galaxies f=Ω_b/&Omega_(b-cosmic) < 0.03 and has dark matter halos get bigger f=Ω_b/&Omega_(b-cosmic) approaches 1 for the largest galaxy clusters. See also Wikipedia: Missing baryon problem, but this NOT the missing baryon problem in haloes.
    3. virial radius R_200: See also Wikipedia: Virial mass
    4. 003_cosmos/notes_3065_3098_2026jan24.pdf#page=7: The Cosmological Constant Force: p. 7--21.
    5. 003_cosmos/notes_3065_3098_2026jan24.pdf#page=15: turnaround radius where f_grav=f_λ: The turnaround radius is NOT the virial radius R_200 NOT the critical radius in general, but is the simplified one for Veenema et al 2026, p. 4, and NOT the closure radius of Veenema et al 2026, p. 4 (definition), 5 (derivation), 6 (formula).
    6. Cosmology file: cosmic_scale_factor.html
  4. The Emperor's New Arc: gigaparsec patterns abound in a &Lambda-CDM universe: Sawala et al. 2025 Feb05: Till Sawala, et al. arXiv, 2025, Feb05, 7 pages: Research: On the cosmological principle: homogeneity and isotropy. Even gigaparsec (Gpc) structures do NOT violate the cosmological principle. But Lopez & Clowes 2025, Apr21, arXiv:2504.14940, Gigaparsec structures are nowhere to be seen in Λ-CDM strongly riposte.
