Dwarf galaxies have long been recognised as important testing grounds for models of dark matter. For instance, it is here where the cusp-core problem is most apparent. In this work we select two dwarf galaxy samples: LITTLE THINGS and dwarf…

I discuss a novel MOND effect that entails a correction to the dynamics of isolated mass systems even when they are deep in the Newtonian regime: systems whose extent R<<Rm, where Rm=sqrt(GM/a0) is the MOND radius, and M the total mass.…
