Testing Bekenstein’s Relativistic MOND with Gravitational Lensing
With the recent elevation of Milgrom’s MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) to a relativistic theory, the Tensor-Vector-Scalar (TeVeS) theory of Bekenstein, a theory of gravity now exists which does not require dark matter and is consistent with fundamental relativistic principles. However, it remains challenging numerically and analytically to tackle the non-linear equations of TeVeS, which make...
متن کاملTesting Bekenstein’s Relativistic MOND with Lensing Data
We propose to use multiple-imaged gravitational lenses to set limits on gravity theories without dark matter, specificly TeVeS (Bekenstein 2004), a theory which is consistent with fundamental relativistic principles and the phenomenology of MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theory. After setting the framework for lensing and cosmology, we derive analytically the deflection angle for the point ...
متن کاملTesting MOND with Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies
The properties of the recently discovered Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies (UCDs) show that their internal acceleration of gravity is everywhere above a0, the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) constant of gravity. MOND therefore makes the strong prediction that no mass discrepancy should be observed for this class of objects. This is confirmed by the few UCDs for which virial masses were derived. ...
متن کاملTesting gravitomagnetism on the Earth
The paper contains a proposed experiment for testing the gravitomagnetic effect on the propagation of light around a rotating mass. The idea is to use a rotating spherical laboratory-scale shell, around which two mutually orthogonal lightguides are wound acting as the arms of an interferometer. Numerical estimates show that time of flight differences between the equatorial and polar guides coul...
متن کاملRoche Lobe Shapes for testing MOND-like Modified Gravities
Dark Matter (DM) theories and mass-tracing-light theories like MOND are by construction nearly degenerate on galactic scales, but not when it comes to the predicted shapes of Roche Lobes of a two-body system (e.g., a globular cluster orbiting a host galaxy). We show that the flattening of the Roche lobe is sensitive to the function μ(g) in modification of the law of gravity. We generalise the a...
