A tight correlation between the baryonic and observed acceleration of galaxies has been reported over a wide range of mass ($10^8 < M_{\rm bar}/{\rm M}_\odot < 10^{11}$) - the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR). This has been interpreted as…

The radial acceleration relation (RAR) represents a tight empirical relation between the inferred total and baryonic centripetal accelerations, $g_{\rm{tot}}=GM_{\rm{tot}}(<r)/r^2$ and $g_{\rm{bar}}=GM_{\rm{bar}}(<r)/r^2$, observed in…
