Using galactic rotation curves, we test a -quantum motivated- gravity model that at large distances modifies the Newtonian potential when spherical symmetry is considered. In this model one adds a Rindler acceleration term to the rotation…
The effective potential in the Grumiller's modified gravity [D. Grumiller, Phys. Rev. Lett {\bf 105}, 211303 (2010)] includes the Newtonian potential and a Rindler term. The fitting to the rotation curve data of eight galaxies suggests a…
Recently a new -quantum motivated- theory of gravity has been proposed that modifies the standard Newtonian potential at large distances when spherical symmetry is considered. Accordingly, Newtonian gravity is altered by adding an extra…
We present a modified Schwarzschild metric to introduce a weak breakdown of asymptotic flatness. The kinematics of the metric captures a wide range of galaxy rotation curves. We show baryonic Tully-Fisher relation on the basis of this…
The cold dark matter paradigm has been posited as the standard explanation for the non-Keplerian behavior of galaxy rotation curves, where for galaxies satisfying the Tully-Fisher relation, the mass of the dark matter halo from a large…
Here we use the samples of spiral and elliptical galaxies, in order to investigate theoretically some of their properties and to test the empirical relations, in the light of modified gravities. We show that the baryonic Tully-Fisher…
A theory is proposed which allows explaining the observed flat galaxy rotation curves, without needing to invoke dark matter. Whereas other theories have been proposed in the past which realize the same, the present theory rests on basic…
The redshift evolution of the Tully-Fisher Relation probes gravitational dynamics that must be consistent with any modified gravity theory seeking to explain the galactic rotation curves without the need for dark matter. Within the context…
It has recently been claimed that measurements of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR), a power-law relationship between the observed baryonic masses and outer rotation velocities of galaxies, support the predictions of modified…
We consider a generic minimal modification of the Newtonian potential, that is a modification that introduces only one additional dimensional parameter. The modified potential depends on a function whose behavior for large and small…
Using a recent homogeneous sample of 40 high quality velocity dispersion profiles for Galactic globular clusters, we study the low gravitational acceleration regime relevant to the outskirts of these systems. We find that a simple empirical…
Modifications to Newtonian dynamics at low accelerations have long been proposed as an alternative to dark matter to explain galaxy rotation curves. More recently, similar corrections have been invoked to interpret anomalies in…
We propose an action-based $ f(R) $ modification of Einstein's gravity which admits of a modified Schwarzschild-deSitter metric. In the weak field limit this amounts to adding a small logarithmic correction to the newtonian potential. A…
We have recently shown that the baryonic Tully-Fisher (BTF) and Faber-Jackson (BFJ) relations imply that the gravitational "constant" $G$ in the force law vary with acceleration $a$ as $1/a$. Here we derive the converse from first…
As a manifestation of large distance effect Grumiller modified Schwarzschild metric with an extraneous term reminiscent of Rindler acceleration. Such a term has the potential to explain the observed flat rotation curves in general…
In the context of theories of gravity modified to account for the observed dynamics of galactic systems without the need to invoke the existence of dark matter, a prediction often appears regarding low acceleration systems: wherever $a$…
We consider different observational effects to test modified gravity approach involving the cosmological constant in the common description of the dark matter and the dark energy. We obtain upper limits for the cosmological constant by…
Galaxies and galaxy clusters have rotational velocities apparently too fast to allow them to be gravitationally bound by their visible matter. This has been attributed to the presence of invisible (dark) matter, but so far this has not been…
The weak field limit for a pointlike source of a $f(R) \propto R^{3/2}$-gravity model is studied. We aim to show the viability of such a model as a valid alternative to GR + dark matter at Galactic and local scales. Without considering dark…
This work explores modified inertia in the context of galactic dynamics by investigating the consequences of introducing quantum-motivated bounds on acceleration. Building on earlier ideas related to maximal acceleration and quantum speed…
