The observed flat rotation curves of galaxies are among a number of astrophysical phenomena which require a larger acceleration than can be provided by the Newtonian gravity of the detected baryons. The main proposed solutions are…

The bulge dominated galaxy NGC 7814 provides one of the strongest dynamical tests possible for Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Spitzer 3.6 micron photometry fixes the bulge parameterisation and strongly constrains the properties of the…

A general account of MOND theory is given. I start with the basic tenets of MOND, which posit departure from standard dynamics in the limit of low acceleration -- below an acceleration constant a0 -- where dynamics become scale invariant. I…

We consider a self-gravitating collisionless gas where the gravitational interaction is modeled according to MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics). For the resulting modified Vlasov-Poisson system we establish the existence of spherically…

We currently have two different hypotheses to solve the missing mass problem: dark matter (DM) and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). In this work, we use Bayesian inference applied to the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves…

We study the dark matter (DM) surface density using the SPARC sample and {compare} it to Donato et al. (2009) result. By means of MCMC method, we infer the best-fitting parameters for each galaxy. We reobtain the scaling relation between…

It was recently proposed that the effects usually attributed to particle dark matter on galaxy scales are due to the displacement of dark energy by baryonic matter, a paradigm known as emergent gravity. This formalism leads to predictions…
