Joint lensing and dynamical mass profile determinations of galaxy clusters are an excellent tool to constrain modification of gravity at cosmological scales. However, search for tiny departures from General Relativity calls for an accurate…

We compare N-body simulations of isolated galaxies performed in both frameworks of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) and Newtonian gravity with dark matter (DM). We have developed a multigrid code able to efficiently solve the modified…

The missing gravity in galaxies requires dark matter, or alternatively a modification of gravity or inertia. These theoretical possibilities of fundamental importance may be distinguished by the statistical relation between the observed…

We investigate the implications of a bulk rotational component of the halo velocity distribution for MACHO mass estimates. We find that for a rotating halo to yield a MACHO mass estimate significantly below that of the standard spherical…

We examine the implications of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) on the large scale structure in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We employ a ``Jeans swindle'' to write a MOND-type relationship between the fluctuations in the density…

We present two new diagnostics based on the intrinsic shape alignments of group/cluster size dark matter halos to disentangle the effect of $f(R)$ gravity from that of massive neutrinos. Using the snapshot data from a series of the {\small…

We use the rotation curves of a sample of dark matter dominated dwarf and low-surface brightness (LSB) late-type galaxies to study their radial mass distributions. We find that the shape of the rotation curves is remarkably similar for all…

Modified gravity and massive neutrino cosmologies are two of the most interesting scenarios that have been recently explored to account for possible observational deviations from the concordance $\Lambda$-cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM)…

A modified gravity (MOG) theory, that has been successfully fitted to galaxy rotational velocity data, cluster data, the Bullet Cluster 1E0657-56 and cosmological observations, is shown to be in good agreement with the motion of satellite…

Dwarf galaxies have long been recognised as important testing grounds for models of dark matter. For instance, it is here where the cusp-core problem is most apparent. In this work we select two dwarf galaxy samples: LITTLE THINGS and dwarf…

Dwarf galaxies are good candidates to investigate the nature of Dark Matter, because their kinematics are dominated by this component down to small galactocentric radii. We present here the results of detailed kinematic analysis and mass…

The observed flat rotation curves of galaxies require either the presence of dark matter in Newtonian gravitational potentials or a significant modification to the theory of gravity at galactic scales. Detecting relativistic Doppler shifts…

We apply a general relativistic framework to static and rotating black hole solutions in Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity or modified gravity (MOG). Our results yield exact analytic, closed-form relations expressing the mass $M$, the MOG…

The dynamics of globular clusters has been studied in great detail in the context of general relativity as well as with modifications of gravity that strongly depart from the standard paradigm such as MOND. However, at present there are no…

An important and useful relation is known to hold in two specific MOND theories. It pertains to low-acceleration, isolated systems of pointlike masses, m_p, at positions r_p, subject to gravitational forces F_p. It reads sum_p…

Working within the deep-MOND limit (DML), I describe spherical, self-gravitating systems governed by a polytropic equation of state, $P=\mathcal{K}\rho^\gamma$. As self-consistent structures, such systems can serve as heuristic models for…

MOND predicts that the asymptotic gravitational potential of an isolated, bounded (baryonic) mass, M, is phi(r)=(MGa0)^{1/2}ln(r); a0 is the MOND constant. Relativistic MOND theories predict that the lensing effects of M are dictated by…

Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is one of the most popular alternative theories of dark matter to explain the missing mass problem in galaxies. Although it remains controversial regarding MOND as a fundamental theory, MOND phenomenology…

Different formulations of MOND predict somewhat different rotation curves for the same mass distribution. Here I consider a global attribute of the rotation curve that might provide a convenient discriminant between theories when applied to…

Galaxy rotation curves determined observationally out to a radius well beyond the galaxy cores can provide a critical test of modified gravity models without dark matter. The predicted rotational velocity curve obtained from…
