MOND mass-to-light ratio for the COMA cluster
نویسنده
چکیده
Large values for the mass-to-light ratio (Υ) in self-gravitating systems is one of the most important evidences of dark matter. We propose a expression for the mass-to-light ratio in spherical systems using MOND. Results for the COMA cluster reveal that a modification of the gravity, as proposed by MOND, can reduce significantly this value.

Evaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...
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...
متن کاملWeak Lensing Mass Reconstruction of the Interacting Cluster 1e0657-558: Direct Evidence for the Existence of Dark Matter
We present a weak lensing mass reconstruction of the interacting cluster 1E0657−558 in which we detect both the main cluster and a sub-cluster. The sub-cluster is identified as a smaller cluster which has just undergone initial in-fall and pass-through of the primary cluster, and has been previously identified in both optical surveys and X-ray studies. The X-ray gas has been separated from the ...
متن کاملInfrared Mass - to - Light Profile Throughout the Infall Region of the Coma Cluster
Using a redshift survey of 1779 galaxies and photometry from the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) covering 200 square degrees, we calculate independent mass and light profiles for the infall region of the Coma cluster of galaxies. The redshift survey is complete to K s = 12.2 (622 galaxies), 1.2 magnitudes fainter than M * Ks at the distance of Coma. We confirm the mass profile obtained by Gelle...
متن کاملX-ray Group and cluster mass profiles in MOND: Unexplained mass on the group scale
We investigate the mass profiles of clusters in MOND for a sample of galaxy groups and clusters with temperatures ranging from 0.7 to 8.9 keV. We confirm that a huge hidden mass component, about 1.5 to 4 times more massive than the total visible mass (at the last measured radii, dropping thereafter), is needed to account for the hydrostatic equilibrium of these clusters. For the massive systems...
