چکیده

The dynamics of Magellanic Stream (MS) as a series of clouds extended from the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) to the south Galactic pole is affected by the distribution and the amount of matter in the Milky Way (MW). We calculate the gravitational effect of the Galactic disk on MS in the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) frame work and compare with the observations of the radial velocity. Here we consider the tidal force of the Galaxy which strips the material of the MCs to form the MS and for the non-halo model of Galaxy we ignore the effect of the drag force of the Galactic halo on MS. We also compare the MONDian dynamics with that in the logarithmic and power-law dark halo models and show that the MOND theory seems plausible for describing the dynamics of satellite galaxies as MCs. Finally we do a maximum likelihood analysis to obtain the best parameters of the MOND and the Galactic disk. Subject headings: Galaxy: halo – dark matter–Magellanic stream – MOND.

The Magellanic Stream in Modified Newtonian Dynamics

The dynamics of the Magellanic Stream (MS) as a series of clouds extending from the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) to the south Galactic pole is affected by the distribution and the amount of matter in the Milky Way. We calculate the gravitational effect of the Galactic disk on the MS in the framework of modified Newtonian dynamics(MOND) and compare with observations of the Stream’s radial velocity. W...

Dwarf Spheroidals in MOND

We take the line of sight velocity dispersions as functions of radius for 8 Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies and use Jeans analysis to calculate the mass-to-light ratios (M/L) in Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Using the latest structural parameters, distances and variable velocity anisotropy, we find 6/8 dwarfs have sensible M/L using only the stellar populations. Sextans and Draco, how...

Galactic orbital motions in the Dark Matter, MOdified Newtonian Dynamics and MOdified Gravity scenarios

We simultaneously integrate in a numerical way the equations of motion of both the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) in the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), MOdified Gravity (MOG) and Cold Dark Matter (CDM) frameworks for −1 ≤ t ≤ 1 Gyr in order to see if, at least in principle, it is possible to discriminate between them. Since the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are...

Milky Way potentials in CDM and MOND. Is the Large Magellanic Cloud on a bound orbit?

We compute the Milky Way potential in different cold dark matter (CDM) based models, and compare these with the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) framework. We calculate the axis ratio of the potential in various models, and find that isopotentials are less spherical in MOND than in CDM potentials. As an application of these models, we predict the escape velocity as a function of the position ...

N-body Simulations of the Magellanic Stream

A suite of high-resolution N-body simulations of the Magellanic Clouds – Milky Way system are presented and compared directly with newly available data from the H i Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS). We show that the interaction between Small and Large Magellanic Clouds results in both a spatial and kinematical bifurcation of both the Stream and the Leading Arm. The spatial bifurcation of the Stre...
