Rotation curves constrain a galaxy's underlying mass density profile, under the assumption that the observed rotation produces a centripetal force that exactly balances the inward force of gravity. However, most rotation curves are measured…
Stationary, axisymmetric, dust sourced solutions of Einstein's equations have been proposed as fully general relativistic models for disc galaxies. These models introduce a novel physical element, i.e., a non-negligible dragging vortex…
We present a method to investigate relativistic effects arising from large masses. The method is non-perturbative and employs a mean-field approximation and gravitational lensing. Using this method and a basic model of disk galaxy, we find…
Modifications to GR generically predict time and scale-dependent effects which may be probed by observations of strong lensing by galaxies. Measurements of the stellar velocity dispersion determine the dynamical mass whereas measurements of…
Starting with the spherical Jeans equation, we show that there exists a radius where the mass enclosed depends only on the projected tangential velocity dispersion, assuming that the anisotropy profile slowly varies. This is…
A sample of 22 spiral galaxy rotation curves, measured in the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen, is considered in the context of Milgrom's modified dynamics (MOND). Combined with the previous highly selected sample of Begeman et al. (1990),…
We present kinematic measurements of a large sample of galaxies from the TKRS Survey in the GOODS-N field. We measure line-of-sight velocity dispersions from integrated emission for 1089 galaxies with median z=0.637, and spatially resolved…
Recent observations of anomalous line-of-sight velocity dispersions of two ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) provide a stringent test for modified gravity theories. While NGC 1052-DF2 exhibits an extremely low dispersion value ($\sigma \sim…
We present a new empirical model for galaxy rotation curves that introduces a velocity correction term {\omega}, derived from observed stellar motion and anchored to Keplerian baselines. Unlike parametric halo models or modified gravity…
The radial acceleration relation (RAR) of late-type galaxies relates their dynamical acceleration, $g_\text{obs}$, to that sourced by baryons alone, $g_\text{bar}$, across their rotation curves. Literature fits to the RAR have fixed the…
The dark matter hypothesis, which is not called into question here, explains why typical rotation curves of spiral galaxies do not follow a Keplerian profile. It is however not sufficient in itself to explain why the whole matter…
We investigate a sample of 14 galaxy clusters from the GOGREEN and GCLASS (GG) spectroscopic datasets within the redshift range $(0.87 \leq z \leq 1.37)$ and cluster masses $\mathrm{M}_{200} \gtrsim 2\times 10^{14}$ \hm. Using the highly…
Investigating the gravitational field in the early-type galaxies (ETGs, i.e. ellipticals and lenticulars) up to large radii is observationally difficult. It is questionable how the radial acceleration (RAR) in the ETGs looks like, i.e. the…
We outline how redshift-space distortions (RSD) can be measured from the angular correlation function w({\theta}), of galaxies selected from photometric surveys. The natural degeneracy between RSD and galaxy bias can be minimized by…
Measurements of redshift space distortions (RSD) provide a means to test models of gravity on large-scales. We use mock galaxy catalogues constructed from large N-body simulations of standard and modified gravity models to measure galaxy…
This article explores the agreement between the predictions of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and the rotation curves and stellar velocity dispersion profiles measured by the DiskMass Survey. A bulge-disk decomposition was made for each…
The evidence of the phenomenon for which, in galaxies, the gravitating mass is distributed differently than the luminous mass, increases as new data become available. Furthermore, this discrepancy is well structured and it depends on the…
Surveys of distant galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope and from the ground have shown that there is only mild evolution in the relationship between radial size and stellar mass for galactic disks from z~1 to the present day. Using a…
We examine whether the radial acceleration relation (RAR) of dwarf galaxies can be explained by Verlinde's emergent gravity. This is the extension of arXiv:2206.11685v3, which examines the RAR of typical spiral galaxies, to less massive…
We propose a covariant formulation of refracted gravity (RG), a classical theory of gravity based on the introduction of gravitational permittivity (GP), a monotonic function of the local mass density, in the standard Poisson equation. GP…
