Modified Dark Matter (MDM) is a phenomenological model of dark matter, inspired by gravitational thermodynamics, that naturally accounts for the universal acceleration constant observed in galactic rotation curve data; a critical…
Recent observations of rotationally supported galaxies show a tight correlation between the observed radial acceleration at every radius and the Newtonian acceleration generated by the baryonic mass distribution, the so-called radial…
In this paper the recent interaction model over post-Newtonian theory of gravity has been used to study the stellar dynamics. It implies space time fabric that built over the massive object gets perturbed or literally contracted in presence…
It is well-known that an extremely accurate parametrization of the growth function of matter density perturbations in $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, with errors below $0.25 \%$, is given by $f(a)=\Omega_{m}^{\gamma} \,(a)$ with $\gamma \simeq…
Lo, Sargent, and Young (1993) have recently concluded that the masses of some dwarf galaxies, as deduced by the modified dynamics (MOND) from the observed velocity dispersions, are systematically smaller than the observed masses, by a…
We give a simple argument to show that no purely metric-based, relativistic formulation of Milgrom's Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) whose energy functional is stable (in the sense of being quadratic in perturbations) can be consistent…
As an alternative to dark matter models, MOdified Gravity (MOG) theory can compensate for dark matter by a covariant modification of Einstein gravity. The theory introduces two additional scalar fields and one vector field. The aim is to…
We look for empirical evidence of a non-minimal coupling (NMC) between dark matter (DM) and gravity in the dynamics of local spiral galaxies. In particular, we consider a theoretically motivated NMC that may arise dynamically from the…
We consider for the first time the implications on the modified gravity MOND model of galaxies, of the presence of dark baryons, under the form of cold molecular gas in galaxy discs. We show that MOND models of rotation curves are still…
A sample of 197 X-ray emitting clusters of galaxies is considered in the context of Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). It is shown that the gas mass, extrapolated via an assumed $\beta$ model to a fixed radius of 3 Mpc, is…
We use the galaxy rotation curves in the SPARC database to compare 9 different dark matter and modified gravity models on an equal footing, paying special attention to the stellar mass-to-light ratios. We compare three non-interacting dark…
The study of scaling relations of disc galaxies and their evolution across cosmic time requires accurate estimates of galaxy stellar masses $M_\star$ over broad redshift ranges. While photometric $M_\star$ estimates ($M_{\rm phot}$) based…
Empirical correlations connecting starlight to galaxy dynamics (e.g., the fundamental plane (FP) of elliptical/quiescent galaxies and the Tully--Fisher relation of spiral/star-forming galaxies) provide cosmology-independent distance…
In this work, we propose a modified Newton dynamics (MOND) model to study the rotation curves of galaxies. The model is described by an arctangent interpolating function and it fits the rotation curves of several galaxies without invoking…
We Consider models of thin disks (with and without bulges) in the Bekenstein-Milgrom formulation of MOND as a modification of Newtonian gravity. Analytic solutions are found for the full gravitational fields of Kuzmin disks, and of…
Practically all the full-fledged MOND theories propounded to date are of the modified-gravity (MG) type: they modify only the Newtonian, Poisson action of the gravitational potential, or the general-relativistic Einstein-Hilbert action,…
In this work we definitely prove a possibility that Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics, MOND, can be consistently interpreted as a theory with the modified kinetic terms of the usual Newtonain dynamics, simply called k-MOND. Precisely,…
We quantify departures from hydrodynamical and centrifugal equilibrium in the gas discs of low-mass ($10^{10.75}<M_\mathrm{200c}/\mathrm{M}_\odot<10^{11}$) galaxies from the COLIBRE cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We evaluate the…
Galactic dynamo models have generally relied on input parameters that are very challenging to constrain. We address this problem by developing a model that uses observable quantities as input: the galaxy rotation curve, the surface…
