Thermodynamics of Rotating Black Holes and Black Rings: Phase Transitions and Thermodynamic Volume

Natacha Altamirano, David Kubizňák, Robert B. Mann et al. · 3 Mar 2014

In this review we summarize, expand, and set in context recent developments on the thermodynamics of black holes in extended phase space, where the cosmological constant is interpreted as thermodynamic pressure and treated as a thermodynamic variable in its own right. We specifically consider the thermodynamics of higher-dimensional rotating asymptotically flat and AdS black holes…

Generalized Curvature-Matter Couplings in Modified Gravity

Tiberiu Harko, Francisco S. N. Lobo · 28 Jul 2014

In this work, we review a plethora of modified theories of gravity with generalized curvature-matter couplings. The explicit nonminimal couplings, for instance, between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature R and the Lagrangian density of matter, induces a non-vanishing covariant derivative of the energy-momentum tensor, implying non-geodesic motion and, consequently, leads to the appearance…

Small Scale Problems of the ΛCDM Model: A Short Review

Antonino Del Popolo, Morgan Le Delliou · 20 Feb 2017

The ΛCDM model, or concordance cosmology, as it is often called, is a paradigm at its maturity. It is clearly able to describe the universe at large scale, even if some issues remain open, such as the cosmological constant problem, the small-scale problems in galaxy formation, or the unexplained anomalies in the CMB. ΛCDM clearly…

On the Evolution of the Hubble Constant with the SNe Ia Pantheon Sample and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations: A Feasibility Study for GRB-Cosmology in 2030

Maria Giovanna Dainotti, Biagio De Simone, Tiziano Schiavone et al. · 29 Jan 2022

The difference from 4 to 6 σ in the Hubble constant (H0) between the values observed with the local (Cepheids and Supernovae Ia, SNe Ia) and the high-z probes (Cosmic Microwave Background obtained by the Planck data) still challenges the astrophysics and cosmology community. Previous analysis has shown that there is an evolution in the…

On Effective Degrees of Freedom in the Early Universe

Lars Husdal · 17 Dec 2016

We explore the effective degrees of freedom in the early Universe, from before the electroweak scale at a few femtoseconds after the Big Bang until the last positrons disappeared a few minutes later. We look at the established concepts of effective degrees of freedom for energy density, pressure, and entropy density, and introduce effective degrees…

Galaxies template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Galaxies format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Galaxies template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Galaxies use?
Galaxies uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Galaxies 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Galaxies?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Galaxies document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Galaxies template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Galaxies format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Galaxies?
Galaxies - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Galaxies PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Galaxies template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Galaxies template cost?
You can start writing in the Galaxies template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Galaxies PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
