The tidal features of the classical Milky Way satellites: Expected in MOND but inconsistent with cold dark matter models

Elena Asencio, Indranil Banik, Pavel Kroupa

Most classical satellites of the Milky Way are known to display signs of tidal disturbance (e.g. tidal tails, substructures, and distorted shapes). This cannot be explained by the…

Baryonic mass budgets in the central regions of the Bullet Cluster and their consistency with strong lensing in MOND

Dong Zhang, Hosein Haghi, Elena Asencio +8

Strong lensing observations of the Bullet Cluster have traditionally been regarded as strong evidence for dark matter and a major challenge to Milgromian dynamics (MOND). The offse…

The age of the Universe from a large sample of the oldest Galactic stars

Indranil Banik, Thenujaya Kudakolawa Kaluarachchige, Stephen Cookson +1

We estimate the age of the Universe using the Xiang & Rix sample of 247,103 Milky Way stars with low-resolution spectroscopy from LAMOST DR7 and eDR3 parallaxes. Stellar age…

Constraints on the gravitational potential from DESI DR2 BAO and its implications for the local void scenario

Indranil Banik, José Antonio Nájera, Harry Desmond

We constrain the difference in gravitational potential between our location and sources at using datasets at those redshifts. Our motivation is that the Hubble tens…

How does a MOND cosmology fare on Gpc scales? - Collisionless -body simulations of HDM

Alfie Russell, Indranil Banik, Oscar Cray +1

We present the largest collisionless -body cosmological simulations in a MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) cosmology to date. Our 4 simulations cover CDM as a baseline, a MO…

A Quality Framework for Testing Gravity with Wide Binaries: No Evidence for MOND

Stephen A. Cookson, Indranil Banik, Kareem El-Badry +4

Wide binaries (WBs) offer a unique opportunity to test gravity in the low-acceleration regime, where modifications such as Milgromian dynamics (MOND) predict measurable deviations…

The local void model for the Hubble and BAO tensions

Indranil Banik, Harry Desmond, Vasileios Kalaitzidis +1

The inconsistency between the locally inferred Hubble constant and the value inferred from the cosmic microwave background assuming the CDM cosmological model has persisted, tur…
