A modified gravitational theory explains early universe and late time cosmology, galaxy and galaxy cluster dynamics. The modified gravity (MOG) theory extends general relativity (GR) by three extra degrees of freedom: a scalar field $G$,…
The N-body dark matter (DM) simulations point that DM density profiles, e.g. the NFW halo, should be cuspy in its center, but observations disfavour this kind of DM profile. Here we consider whether the observed rotation curves "close" to…
Clusters of galaxies offer a robust test bed for probing the nature of dark matter that is insensitive to the assumption of the gravity theories. Both Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and General Relativity (GR) would require similar…
