MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is an alternative to the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm which proposes an alteration of Newton's laws of motion at low accelerations, characterized by a universal acceleration scale a_0. It…
A relation between the centripetal acceleration g_obs in galaxies and the gravity due to the baryon distribution g_bar has been found by McGaugh (2016) and Lelli et al.(2017). It also summarizes properties such as the Tully-Fisher and…
We study the link between baryons and dark matter in 240 galaxies with spatially resolved kinematic data. Our sample spans 9 dex in stellar mass and includes all morphological types. We consider (i) 153 late-type galaxies (LTGs; spirals and…
We revisit the issue of the constancy of the dark matter (DM) and baryonic Newtonian acceleration scales within the DM scale radius by considering a large sample of late - type galaxies. We rely on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method…
Galaxies show different halo scaling relations such as the Radial Acceleration Relation, the Mass Discrepancy Acceleration Relation (MDAR) or the dark matter Surface Density Relation (SDR). At difference with traditional studies using…
Velocities in stable circular orbits about galaxies, a measure of centripetal gravitation, exceed the expected Kepler/Newton velocity as orbital radius increases. Standard LCDM attributes this anomaly to galactic dark matter. McGaugh et al…
We use the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation (the correlation between the ratio of total-to-visible mass and acceleration in galaxies; MDAR) to test the galaxy-halo connection. We analyse the MDAR using a set of 16 statistics that…
We analyze the total and baryonic acceleration profiles of a set of well-resolved galaxies identified in the EAGLE suite of hydrodynamic simulations. Our runs start from the same initial conditions but adopt different prescriptions for…
Recently, from the new Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) data, McGaugh et al. (2016) reported a tight Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR) between the observed total acceleration and the acceleration produced by baryons…
The mass discrepancy in disk galaxies is shown to be well correlated with acceleration, increasing systematically with decreasing acceleration below a critical scale a0 = 3700 km^2/s^2/kpc = 1.2E-10 m/s/s. For each galaxy, there is an…
Universal acceleration $a_0$ emerges in various empirical laws, yet its fundamental nature remains unclear. Using Illustris and Virgo N-body simulations, we propose $a_0$ is the scale of acceleration fluctuations in collisionless dark…
General relativity and its Newtonian weak field limit are not sufficient to explain the observed phenomenology in the Universe, from the formation of large-scale structures to the dynamics of galaxies, with the only presence of baryonic…
We study the Mass Discrepancy-Acceleration Relation (MDAR) of 57 elliptical galaxies by their Einstein rings from the Sloan Lens ACS Survey (SLACS). The mass discrepancy between the lensing mass and the baryonic mass derived from population…
We show that ultra-light scalar dark matter (fuzzy dark matter) in galaxies has a quantum mechanical typical acceleration scale about $10^{-10}\,\mbox{ms}^{-2}$, which leads to the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation. Baryonic matter at central…
We have recently introduced in paper I an extension of the Ruffini-Arg\"uelles-Rueda (RAR) model for the distribution of DM in galaxies, by including for escape of particle effects. Being built upon self-gravitating fermions at finite…
Recently, a tight correlation between the dynamical radial acceleration and the baryonic radial acceleration in galaxies - the radial acceleration relation - has been discovered. This has been claimed as an indirect support of the modified…
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…
Although the standard cosmological model, the so-called $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter ("$\Lambda$CDM"), appears to fit well observations at the cosmological level, it is well known that it possesses several inconsistencies at the galactic…
We test whether parsec-scale stellar systems in the Milky Way follow the galactic radial acceleration relation (RAR) or the baryonic TullyFisher relation (BTFR). We analyse 5646 Gaia DR3 open clusters from the Hunt \& Reffert catalogue.…
The tight radial acceleration relation (RAR) obeyed by rotationally supported disk galaxies is one of the most successful a priori predictions of the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) paradigm on galaxy scales. Another important…
