Milky Way Dynamics Favor Dark Matter over Modified Gravity Models

Zheng-long Wang, Yue-Lin Sming Tsai, Lan Zhang +5

Modified gravity theories such as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG) have been proposed as alternatives to dark matter, but decisive tests h…

Strong constraints on the gravitational law from DR3 wide binaries

Indranil Banik, Charalambos Pittordis, Will Sutherland +4

We test Milgromian dynamics (MOND) using wide binary stars (WBs) with separations of kAU. Locally, the WB orbital velocity in MOND should exceed the Newtonian prediction by…

Do old globular clusters in low mass galaxies disprove modified gravity?

Michal Bílek, Hongsheng Zhao, Benoit Famaey +6

The controversy "dark matter vs. modified gravity" constitutes a major topic of discussion. It was proposed that dynamical friction could be used to discriminate between the two al…

Simulations of star forming main sequence galaxies in Milgromian gravity

Srikanth T. Nagesh, Pavel Kroupa, Indranil Banik +6

We conduct hydrodynamical MOND simulations of isolated disc galaxies over the stellar mass range using the adaptive mesh refinement code \texts…

The distribution and morphologies of Fornax Cluster dwarf galaxies suggest they lack dark matter

E. Asencio, I. Banik, S. Mieske +3

Due to their low surface brightness, dwarf galaxies are particularly susceptible to tidal forces. The expected degree of disturbance depends on the assumed gravity law and whether…

Overestimated inclinations of Milgromian disc galaxies: the case of the ultradiffuse galaxy AGC 114905

Indranil Banik, Srikanth Togere Nagesh, Hosein Haghi +2

We present hydrodynamical star-forming simulations in the Milgromian dynamics (MOND) framework of a gas-rich disc galaxy with properties similar to AGC 114905, which has recently b…
