We compute the Milky Way potential in different cold dark matter (CDM) based models, and compare these with the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) framework. We calculate the axis ratio of the potential in various models, and find that…

MOND has limelighted the fact that Newtonian dynamics (ND) and general relativity (GR) have not been verified at accelerations below MOND's $a_0$. In particular, we do not know that all the principles underlying ND or GR apply below $a_0$.…

Dissipationless collapses in Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) are studied by using a new particle-mesh N-body code based on our numerical MOND potential solver. We found that low surface-density end-products have shallower inner density…

Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) can explain well the mass discrepancy problem in galaxy without invoking dark matter. The MOND theory predicts a universal constant acceleration scale in galaxy, below which the Newtonian…

The stability of galaxies is either explained by the existence of dark matter or caused by a modification of Newtonian acceleration (MOND). Here we show that the modification of the Newtonian dynamics can equally well be obtained by a…

Milgrom's Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) provides an efficient way to summarize phenomenology of galaxies which does not lean on the notion of dark matter; it has great predictive power. Here I briefly review MOND as well as its…

The Modified dynamics (MOND) has been propounded as an alternative to Dark matter. It imputes the mass discrepancy in galaxy systems to failure of standard dynamics in the limit of small accelerations. After a brief description of the MOND…

We determine the escape velocity from the Milky Way (MW) at a range of Galactocentric radii in the context of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Due to its non-linear nature, escape is possible if the MW is considered embedded in a…

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a hypothesized modification of Newton's law of universal gravitation to account for the flat rotation curves in the outer regions of galaxies, thereby eliminating the need for dark matter. Although a…

Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is a framework of theories that adjust Newton's laws of gravity to explain effects such as galactic rotation anomalies, offering an alternative to dark matter. This essay examines the justification of MOND…

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) can be obtained by modifying the entropic formulation of gravity, this is achieved by considering the quantum statistical nature of the degrees of freedom on the holographic screen. Through this frame…

We study the evolution of a spherically symmetric density perturbation in the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) model applied to the net acceleration over Hubble flow. The background cosmological model is a $\Lambda$-dominated,…

It is usually believed that MOND can describe the galactic rotational curves with only baryonic matter and without any dark matter very well, while the $\Lambda$CDM model is expected to have difficulty in reproducing MOND-like behavior.…

We consider the feasibility of testing Newtonian gravity at low accelerations using wide binary (WB) stars separated by $\ge 3$ kAU. These systems probe the accelerations at which galaxy rotation curves unexpectedly flatline, possibly due…

Non-spherical systems described by MOND theories of modified gravity arising from generalizations of the Poisson equations are affected by a MONDian extra-quadrupolar potential \phi_M even if they are isolated and they are in deep Newtonian…

Under a MONDian view, astrophysical systems are expected to follow Newtonian dynamics whenever the local acceleration is above the critical $a_{0}=1.2 \times 10^{-10} m s^{-2}$, and enter a modified regime for accelerations below this…

Genzel et al. have recently published the rotation curves of six high-redshift disc galaxies ($z\sim 0.9-2.4$), which they find to be `baryon dominated' within the studies radii. While not up to the standard afforded by data available for…
