Some recent supernovae studies have extended the distance versus velocity Hubble plot to very high redshift, and have revealed the apparent presence of a cosmic repulsion. We show that such a repulsion has a natural origin within conformal…
The approximately flat outer parts of spiral galaxy rotation curves are commonly interpreted as evidence for a discrepancy between the observed baryonic mass and the dynamical mass inferred from the measured orbital velocities. In many…
Numerous dark matter studies of galactic halo gravitation depend on models with core radius $r_0$ and central density $\rho_0$. Central surface density product $\rho_0 r_0$ is found to be nearly a universal constant for a large range of…
It is shown that, $(a \Lambda^2 + b |H|^2)R$ in a spacetime of curvature $R$ is a natural ultraviolet $(U\!V)$ completion of $(a \Lambda^4 + b \Lambda^2 |H|^2)$ in the flat-spacetime Standard Model $(S\!M)$ with Higgs field $H$, $U\!V$…
We use a homogeneous sample of about 1100 rotation curves (RCs) and relative surface photometry to investigate (out to 2 optical radii and over 6 mag) the main mass structure properties of spirals. We confirm the strong dependence on…
We consider the slowly rotating relativistic stars with a uniform angular velocity in the scalar-tensor gravity, and examine the rotational effect around such compact objects. For this purpose, we derive a 2nd order differential equation…
In a flat, k=0 cosmology with galaxies that approximate singular isothermal spheres, gravitational lens image separations should be uncorrelated with source redshift. But in an open k=-1 cosmology such gravitational lens image separations…
Spiral galaxies are considered as static, spherically symmetric Dark Matter Configurations (DMC)in which non-zero rest-mass particles (NZRPs) move along appropriate trajectories. Using general relativity (GR), we show that a mass of dark…
A large luminosity--linewidth template sample is now available, improved absorption corrections have been derived, and there are a statistically significant number of galaxies with well determined distances to supply the zero point. A…
This paper describes how the non-gravitational contribution to Galactic Velocity Rotation Curves can be explained in terms of a negative Cosmological Constant ($\Lambda$). It will be shown that the Cosmological Constant leads to a velocity…
Recent results from gravitational lensing are combined with new modeling of the stellar velocity distributions in nearby galaxies to probe the connection between the luminous and the dark matter in elliptical galaxies. From analysing a…
The recent paper by Lee and Lee (2004) may strongly leave the impression that astronomers have established that the rotation curves of spiral galaxies are flat. We show that the old paradigm of Flat Rotation Curves lacks, today, any…
The free electron model with Boltzmann statistics for spherical low-density plasmas is developed further with asymptotic relations obtaining the density of electrons, mass densities, and the potentials of such plasmas. Solutions are…
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…
In this paper, we consider the Universe deep inside of the cell of uniformity. At these scales, the Universe is filled with inhomogeneously distributed discrete structures (galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies), which disturb the…
The rotation curves of disk galaxies exhibit a number of striking regularities. The amplitude of the rotation is correlated with luminosity (Tully-Fisher), the shape of the rotation curve is well predicted by the luminous mass distribution,…
We propose a new formula to explain circular velocity profiles of spiral galaxies obtained from the Starobinsky model in Palatini formalism. It is based on the assumption that the gravity can be described by two conformally related metrics:…
The recent measurements of circular velocity curves from weak lensing of the isolated galaxies lead to a conclusion that the circular velocity curves remain flat well beyond the virial radii of dark matter halos up to 1 Mpc. This is in…
In this paper, we present a "stellar dynamics" model of an infinite Universe, where matter distribution follows an inverse proportionality squared relationship with respect to the distance from the rotation center of galaxy clusters and…
We have derived rotation curves of nearby galaxies, which are almost completely sampled from the inner to outer regions. We used high-resolution position-velocity diagrams in the CO line along the major axes for the inner regions, and…
