First test of Verlinde's theory of Emergent Gravity using Weak Gravitational Lensing measurements

Margot M. Brouwer, Manus R. Visser, Andrej Dvornik +19

Verlinde (2016) proposed that the observed excess gravity in galaxies and clusters is the consequence of Emergent Gravity (EG). In this theory the standard gravitational laws are m…

Implications of an updated ultraviolet background for the ionization mechanisms of intervening Ne VIII absorbers

Tanvir Hussain, Vikram Khaire, Raghunathan Srianand +2

Ne VIII absorbers seen in QSO spectra are useful tracers of warm ionized gas, when collisional ionization is the dominant ionization process. While photoionization by the ultraviol…
