Galactic rotation curve is a powerful indicator of the state of the gravitational field within a galaxy. The flatness of these curves indicates the presence of dark matter in galaxies and their clusters. In this paper, we focus on the…
We investigate the possibility to explain theoretically the galaxy rotation curves by a gravitational potential in total absence of dark matter. To this aim an analytic fourth-order theory of gravity, nonminimally coupled with a massive…
We investigate galactic rotation curves in $f(T)$ gravity, where $T$ represents a torsional quantity. Our study centers on the particular Lagrangian $f(T)=T+\alpha{T^n}$, where $|n|\neq 1$ and $\alpha$ is a small unknown constant. To do…
While the standard and most popular explanation for the flatness of galaxy rotation curves is dark matter, one cannot at this stage rule out an explanation based on a modified law of gravitation, which agrees with Newtonian gravitation on…
In this paper we study consistent solutions of spherically symmetric space in metric f(R) gravity theory. Here we inversely obtain a generic action from metric solutions that describe flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies without dark…
The Galaxy rotation curve is usually assumed to be flat. However, some galaxies have rotation curves that are lower than the flat rotation curve. In our Galaxy the Keplerian rotation of interstellar clouds in the galactic longitude l=135…
We consider f(R,T) modified theory of gravity, in which the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor of the matter, in order to investigate the dark-matter…
We present an analysis of a devised sample of Rotation Curves (RCs), aimed at checking the consequences of a modified f(R) gravity on galactic scales. Originally motivated by the the dark energy mystery, this theory may serve as a…
We consider the application of quantum corrections computed using renormalization group arguments in the astrophysical domain and show that, for the most natural interpretation of the renormalization group scale parameter, a gravitational…
Current constraints on gravity are relatively weak on galactic and intergalactic scales. Screened modified gravity models can exhibit complex behaviour there without violating stringent tests of gravity within our Solar System. They might…
We propose to test the viability of the recently introduced $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity model in the galactic scales. For this purpose we consider test particles moving in stable circular orbits around the galactic center. We study the…
It has been proposed that the flat rotation curves observed at large radii in disk galaxies can be interpreted as an effect of General Relativity (GR) instead of the presence of dark matter (DM) halos in Newtonian gravity. In Ciotti (2022)…
In this paper we identify a new regularity in the systematics of galactic rotation curves, namely we find that at the last detected points in galaxies of widely varying luminosity, the centripetal acceleration is found to have the…
The flattening of spiral-galaxy rotation curves is unnatural in view of the expectations from Kepler's third law and a central mass. It is interesting, however, that the radius-independence velocity is what one expects in one less…
We suggest a new explanation of flatness of galaxies rotation curves without invoking dark matter. For this purpose a new gravitational tensor field is introduced in addition to the metric tensor.
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…
There should be two ways to describe the flat rotation curves of galaxies and cluster of galaxies. Either one can introduce a dark matter component for the matter filling the halo, or by modifying the gravity theory and give the flat…
The rotation curve of the Galaxy is generally thought to be flat. However, using radial velocities from interstellar molecular clouds, which is common in rotation curve determination, seems to be incorrect and may lead to incorrectly…
Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are known with reasonable precision for a large number of galaxies with similar morphologies. The data implies that non-Keplerian fall--off is seen. This implies that (i) large amounts of dark matter must…
Flat galaxy rotation curves and the accelerating Universe both imply the existence of a critical acceleration, which is of the same order of magnitude in both the cases, in spite of the galactic and cosmic length scales being vastly…
