Mond and Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
I review various ideas on MOND cosmology and structure formation beginning with non-relativistic models in analogy with Newtonian cosmology. I discuss relativistic MOND cosmology in the context of Bekenstein’s theory and propose an alternative biscalar effective theory of MOND in which the acceleration parameter, a0 is identified with the cosmic time derivative of a matter coupling scalar field and cosmic CDM appears as scalar field oscillations of the auxiliary “coupling strength” field.

The modified dynamics as a vacuum effect
To explain the appearance in MOND of a cosmological acceleration constant, a0, I suggest that MOND inertia–as embodied in the actions of free particles and fields–is due to effects of the vacuum. The same vacuum effects enter both MOND (through a0) and cosmology (e.g. through a cosmological constant Λ). For example, a constant-acceleration (a) observer in de Sitter universe sees Unruh radiation...

I estimate Modified-Dynamics (MOND), median M/L values for recently published catalogues of galaxy groups. While the median, Newtonian M/L values quoted for these catalogues are (110 − 200)h75(M/L) , the corresponding values for MOND are less than 10 (M/L) (where the mass includes contributions from galactic, and intra-group gas). Subject headings: Galaxies: kinematics and dynamics; Cosmology: ...
متن کاملThe fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies with modified Newtonian dynamics
The modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), suggested by Milgrom as an alternative to dark matter, implies that isothermal spheres with a fixed anisotropy parameter should exhibit a near perfect relation between the mass and velocity dispersion of the form M ∝ σ. This is consistent with the observed Faber-Jackson relation for elliptical galaxies. However, the observable global properties of ellipti...
متن کاملModified Newtonian Dynamics: success and problem on globular cluster scale
Many past attempts to kill MOND have only strengthened the theory. Better data on galaxy velocity curves clearly favor MOND (without fine-tuning) over cold dark matter. The usual critism on the incompleteness of classical MOND has spurred a Modified Relativity (MR) by Bekenstein. After outlining cosmology and lensing in MOND, we review MOND on small scales. We point out some potential problems ...

The Modified dynamics (MOND) has been propounded as an alternative to Dark matter. It imputes the mass discrepancy in galaxy systems to failure of standard dynamics in the limit of small accelerations. After a brief description of the MOND tenets, I discuss how its predictions now compare with the data. I put special emphasis on rotation-curve analysis– whence comes the most clear-cut support f...
