It was recently proposed that the effects usually attributed to particle dark matter on galaxy scales are due to the displacement of dark energy by baryonic matter, a paradigm known as emergent gravity. This formalism leads to predictions…

We hypothesize a simple scenario to associate spiral-shaped trajectories and asymptotic tangential velocities according to observations found on deep space scales. As a difference with alternative Modified Newton Dynamics (MoND), in our…

Accepting that galactic mass discrepancies are due to modified dynamics, I show why it is specifically the MOND paradigm that is pointed to cogently. MOND is thus discussed here as a special case of a larger class of modified dynamics…

We consider structure formation in a nonlocal, metric-based realization of Milgrom's MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). We derive the general equations for linearized scalar perturbations about the $\Lambda$CDM expansion history. These…

We show that the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) regime can be fully recovered as the weak-field limit of a particular theory of gravity formulated in the metric approach. This is possible when Milgrom's acceleration constant is taken as…

Lo, Sargent, and Young (1993) have recently concluded that the masses of some dwarf galaxies, as deduced by the modified dynamics (MOND) from the observed velocity dispersions, are systematically smaller than the observed masses, by a…

We study geometries of galactic rotation curves from Dark Matter (DM) and Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) models in $(g_{\rm bar},g_{\rm tot})$-space ($g2$-space) where $g_{\rm tot}$ is the total centripetal acceleration of matter in the…

MOND, invented by Milgrom, is a phenomenological scheme whose basic premise is that the visible matter distribution in a galaxy or cluster of galaxies alone determines its dynamics. MOND fits many observations surprisingly well. Could it be…

McGaugh et al. (2016) have used their extensive SPARC sample to update the well-known mass-discrepancy-acceleration relation (MDAR), which is one of the major predicted "MOND laws". This is not a newly discovered relation. Rather, it…

The observed flat rotation curves of galaxies are among a number of astrophysical phenomena which require a larger acceleration than can be provided by the Newtonian gravity of the detected baryons. The main proposed solutions are…

Milgromian Dynamics (MOND) has been particularly successful in predicting scaling relations for galactic systems, namely the baryonic Tully-Fisher for spirals, the Faber-Jackson for ellipticals and the Radial Acceleration Relation for…

I show that Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is equivalent to assuming an isothermal dark matter density profile, with its density related to the enclosed total baryonic mass. This density profile can be deduced by physical laws if a dark…

We investigated the impact of three different modifications of Newtonian gravity on motions of Keplerian objects within the Solar System. These objects are located at distances of the order of the distance to the Oort cloud. With these…

A modified Newton's gravity is obtained as the weak field approximation of the Einstein's equation in Finsler space. It is found that a specified Finsler structure makes the modified Newton's gravity equivalent to the modified Newtonian…

The Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) has been formulated as a modification of the Poisson equation for the Newtonian gravitational field. This theory generically predicts a violation of the strong version of the equivalence principle, and…

Using dimensional analysis techniques we present an extension of Newton's gravitational theory built under the assumption that Milgrom's acceleration constant is a fundamental quantity of nature. The gravitational force converges to…
