A configuration whose density profile coincides with the Newtonian potential for spiral galaxies is constructed from a 4D isotropic metric plus extra dimensional components. A Miyamoto-Nagai ansatz is used to solve Einstein equations. The…
N-body simulations and analytical calculations of the gravitational collapse in an expanding universe predict that halos should form with a diverging inner density profile, the cusp. There are some observational indications that the dark…
We extend the concept of galaxy environment from the local galaxy number density to the gravitational potential and its functions like the shear tensor. For this purpose we examine whether or not one can make an accurate estimation of the…
We use the Newtonian limit of a general scalar-tensor theory around a background field to study astrophysical effects. The gravitational theory modifies the standard Newtonian potential by adding a Yukawa term to it, which is quantified by…
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…
Recently, it has been suggested that the phenomenology of flat rotation curves observed at large radii in the equatorial plane of disk galaxies can be explained as a manifestation of General Relativity instead of the effect of Dark Matter…
The kinematic dispersions of disc stars can be used to measure the dynamic contributions of baryons to the rotation curves of spiral galaxies and hence to trace the amount and distribution of the remaining dark matter. However, the simple…
Two alternative theories to dark matter are investigated by testing their ability to describe consistently the dynamics of the Milky Way. The first one refers to a modified gravity theory having a running gravitational constant and 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 investigate a Yukawa gravity modification of the Newtonian gravitational potential in a weak field approximation. For that purpose we derived the corresponding equations of motion and used them to perform two-body…
Long-range attractive fifth forces can lead to exponential instabilities in the early Universe. For fermions with a Yukawa coupling to a sufficiently light scalar mediator, rapid oscillations of the scalar field can lead to a conservative…
We explore observational constraints on possible deviations from Newtonian gravity by means of large-scale clustering of galaxies. We measure the power spectrum and the bispectrum of Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxies and compare the result…
Cusp-core problem is a controversial problem on galactic dark matter haloes. Cosmological N-body simulations has demonstrated that galactic dark matter haloes have a cuspy density profile at the centre. However, baryonic physics may affect…
The determination of the velocities, accelerations and the gravitational field intensity at a given location in a galaxy could potentially be achieved in an unexpected manner with the environment of the observer, for instance, the local…
We consider a modification of General Relativity motivated by the treatment of anisotropies in Continuum Mechanics. The Newtonian limit of the theory is formulated and applied to galactic rotation curves. By assuming that the additional…
We study the kinematics of gaseous disks in triaxial dark matter halos using the closed-loop orbit solutions in non-axisymmetric potentials. The orbits are in general non-circular and, for given triaxiality, their ellipticity depends on the…
There is increasing evidence now from simulations and observations that the centre of dark matter halo in a Milky Way type galaxy could be off-centred by a few 100 pc w.r.t. the galactic disc. We study the effect of such an offset halo on…
Galactic rotation curves are often considered the first robust evidence for the existence of dark matter. However, even in the presence of a dark matter halo, other galactic-scale observations, such as the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation and…
We present stationary solutions of geometrically thick discs (or tori) endowed with a self-consistent toroidal magnetic field distribution surrounding a non-rotating black hole in an analytical, static, spherically-symmetric $f(R)$-gravity…
We use a set of cosmological N-body simulations to investigate the structural shape of galaxy-sized cold dark matter (CDM) halos. Unlike most previous work on the subject - which dealt with shapes as measured by the inertia tensor - we…
