From galactic bars to the Hubble tension: weighing up the astrophysical evidence for Milgromian gravity

Indranil Banik, Hongsheng Zhao

Astronomical observations reveal a major deficiency in our understanding of physics the detectable mass is insufficient to explain the observed motions in a huge variety of sys…

Detailed numerical implementation of the wide binary test

Indranil Banik, Charalambos Pittordis, Will Sutherland

The observed flat rotation curves of galaxies are among a number of astrophysical phenomena which require a larger acceleration than can be provided by the Newtonian gravity of the…

The Kennicutt-Schmidt law and the main sequence of galaxies in Newtonian and Milgromian dynamics

Akram Hasani Zonoozi, Patrick Lieberz, Indranil Banik +2

The Kennicutt-Schmidt law is an empirical relation between the star formation rate surface density () and the gas surface density () in disc galaxies. The relatio…

Fast galaxy bars continue to challenge standard cosmology

Mahmood Roshan, Neda Ghafourian, Tahere Kashfi +5

Many observed disc galaxies harbour a central bar. In the standard cosmological paradigm, galactic bars should be slowed down by dynamical friction from the dark matter halo. This…

On the absence of backsplash analogues to NGC 3109 in the CDM framework

Indranil Banik, Moritz Haslbauer, Marcel S. Pawlowski +2

The dwarf galaxy NGC 3109 is receding 105 km/s faster than expected in a CDM timing argument analysis of the Local Group and external galaxy groups within 8 Mpc (Banik \& Zhao 2…

Barred spiral galaxies in modified gravity theories

Mahmood Roshan, Indranil Banik, Neda Ghafourian +4

When bars form within galaxy formation simulations in the standard cosmological context, dynamical friction with dark matter (DM) causes them to rotate rather slowly. However, almo…

The Phantom of RAMSES user guide for galaxy simulations using Milgromian and Newtonian gravity

Srikanth T. Nagesh, Indranil Banik, Ingo Thies +5

This document describes the general process of setting up, running, and analysing disc galaxy simulations using the freely available program Phantom of RAMSES (PoR). This implement…
