Dark matter in fractional gravity. I. Astrophysical tests on galactic scales

F Benetti, A Lapi, G Gandolfi, P Salucci… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the possibility that the dark matter (DM) component in galaxies may originate
fractional gravity. In such a framework, the standard law of inertia continues to hold, but the …

[HTML][HTML] Limit on graviton mass from galaxy cluster Abell 1689

S Desai - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
To date, the only limit on graviton mass using galaxy clusters was obtained by Goldhaber
and Nieto in 1974, using the fact that the orbits of galaxy clusters are bound and closed, and …

Testing MOdified Gravity (MOG) theory and dark matter model in Milky Way using the local observables

Z Davari, S Rahvar - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, we have investigated one of the alternative theories to dark matter named
MOdified Gravity (MOG) by testing its ability to describe the local dynamics of the Milky Way …

The κ-Model under the Test of the SPARC Database

G Pascoli - Universe, 2024 - mdpi.com
Our main goal here is to conduct a comparative analysis between the well-known MOND
theory and a more recent model called the κ-model. An additional connection, between the κ …

Testing emergent gravity on galaxy cluster scales

A Tamosiunas, D Bacon, K Koyama… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Verlinde's theory of Emergent Gravity (EG) describes gravity as an emergent phenomenon
rather than a fundamental force. Applying this reasoning in de Sitter space leads to gravity …

Testing Verlinde's emergent gravity in early-type galaxies

C Tortora, LVE Koopmans… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Emergent Gravity (EG) has been proposed to resolve the missing mass problem in galaxies,
replacing the potential of dark matter (DM) by the effect of the entropy displacement of dark …

Solution of the dark matter riddle within standard model physics: From galaxies and clusters to cosmology

TM Nieuwenhuizen - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.04637, 2023 - arxiv.org
It is postulated that the zero point energy density of the quantum vacuum acts firstly as dark
energy and secondly as a fluid that builds the dark matter. Assisted by a small fraction of net …

Limit on graviton mass using stacked galaxy cluster catalogs from SPT-SZ, Planck-SZ and SDSS-redMaPPer

S Gupta, S Desai - Annals of Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
In the last few years, there has been a resurgence of interest in obtaining observational
bounds on the graviton mass, following the detection of gravitational waves, because of the …

[HTML][HTML] Bounds on graviton mass using weak lensing and SZ effect in galaxy clusters

A Rana, D Jain, S Mahajan, A Mukherjee - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
Abstract In General Relativity (GR), the graviton is massless. However, a common feature in
several theoretical alternatives of GR is a non-zero mass for the graviton. These theories can …

S Jana, C Dalang, L Lombriser - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Einstein–Hilbert action with a cosmological constant is the most general local
four-dimensional action leading to second-order derivative equations of motion that are …
