Comment on "Evidence for dark matter in the inner Milky Way"

Stacy McGaugh, Federico Lelli, Marcel Pawlowski +21

This is a brief rebuttal to arXiv:1502.03821, which claims to provide the first observational proof of dark matter interior to the solar circle. We point out that this result is no…

Co-orbiting satellite galaxy structures are still in conflict with the distribution of primordial dwarf galaxies

Marcel S. Pawlowski, Benoit Famaey, Helmut Jerjen +11

Both major galaxies in the Local Group host planar distributions of co-orbiting satellite galaxies, the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS) of the Milky Way and the Great Plane of Andromed…

A census of the expected properties of classical Milky Way dwarfs in Milgromian dynamics

Fabian Lüghausen, Benoit Famaey, Pavel Kroupa

Prompted by the recent successful predictions of the internal dynamics of Andromeda's satellite galaxies (McGaugh & Milgrom 2013a,b), we revisit the classical Milky Way dwarf spher…

Local Group timing in Milgromian dynamics. A past Milky Way-Andromeda encounter at z>0.8

HongSheng Zhao, Benoit Famaey, Fabian Lüghausen +1

The Local Group timing has been one of the first historical probes of the missing mass problem. Whilst modern cosmological probes indicate that pure baryonic dynamics is not suffic…

Polar ring galaxies as tests of gravity

F. Lüghausen, B. Famaey, P. Kroupa +5

Polar ring galaxies are ideal objects with which to study the three-dimensional shapes of galactic gravitational potentials since two rotation curves can be measured in two perpend…
