A common Milgromian acceleration scale in nature

Pavel Kroupa, Indranil Banik, Hosein Haghi +6

A central problem of contemporary physics is whether the law of gravity is non-Newtonian on galaxy scales. Rodrigues et al. argue that Milgromian gravitation, which solves the flat…

Toomre stability of disk galaxies in quasi-linear MOND

Indranil Banik, Mordehai Milgrom, Hongsheng Zhao

We consider disk stability in the quasi-linear formulation of MOND (QUMOND), the basis for some -body integrators. We generalize the Toomre criterion for the stability of disks…

Distinguishing Standard from Modified Gravity in the Local Group and beyond

Indranil Banik

The works in this portfolio test the hypothesis that it is not possible to extrapolate the Newtonian inverse square law of gravity from Solar System to galaxy scales. In particular…

Testing Gravity with wide binary stars like Centauri

Indranil Banik, Hongsheng Zhao

We consider the feasibility of testing Newtonian gravity at low accelerations using wide binary (WB) stars separated by kAU. These systems probe the accelerations at which…

Origin of the Local Group satellite planes

Indranil Banik, David O'Ryan, Hongsheng Zhao

We attempt to understand the planes of satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW) and M31 in the context of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which implies a close MW-M31 fly…
