[HTML][HTML] From galactic bars to the hubble tension: Weighing up the astrophysical evidence for milgromian gravity

I Banik, H Zhao - Symmetry, 2022 - mdpi.com
Astronomical observations reveal a major deficiency in our understanding of physics—the
detectable mass is insufficient to explain the observed motions in a huge variety of systems …

Horizon-scale tests of gravity theories and fundamental physics from the Event Horizon Telescope image of Sagittarius A

S Vagnozzi, R Roy, YD Tsai, L Visinelli… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Horizon-scale images of black holes (BHs) and their shadows have opened an
unprecedented window onto tests of gravity and fundamental physics in the strong-field …

Strong constraints on the gravitational law from Gaia DR3 wide binaries

I Banik, C Pittordis, W Sutherland… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We test Milgromian dynamics (MOND) using wide binary stars (WBs) with separations of 2–
30 kAU. Locally, the WB orbital velocity in MOND should exceed the Newtonian prediction …

The distribution and morphologies of Fornax Cluster dwarf galaxies suggest they lack dark matter

E Asencio, I Banik, S Mieske, A Venhola… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Due to their low surface brightness, dwarf galaxies are particularly susceptible to tidal forces.
The expected degree of disturbance depends on the assumed gravity law and whether they …

The KBC void and Hubble tension contradict ΛCDM on a Gpc scale− Milgromian dynamics as a possible solution

M Haslbauer, I Banik, P Kroupa - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The KBC void is a local underdensity with the observed relative density contrast δ≡ 1−
ρ/ρ0= 0.46±0.06 between 40 and 300 Mpc around the Local Group. If mass is conserved in …

A massive blow for ΛCDM–the high redshift, mass, and collision velocity of the interacting galaxy cluster El Gordo contradicts concordance cosmology

E Asencio, I Banik, P Kroupa - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT El Gordo (ACT-CL J0102-4915) is an extremely massive galaxy cluster (M
200≈ 3× 1015 M⊙) at redshift z= 0.87 composed of two subclusters with a mass ratio of 3.6 …

3D hydrodynamic simulations for the formation of the Local Group satellite planes

I Banik, I Thies, R Truelove, G Candlish… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The existence of mutually correlated thin and rotating planes of satellite galaxies around
both the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) calls for an explanation. Previous work in …

The global stability of M33 in MOND

I Banik, I Thies, B Famaey, G Candlish… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The dynamical stability of disk galaxies is sensitive to whether their anomalous rotation
curves are caused by dark matter halos or Milgromian dynamics (MOND). We investigate …

Constraining ultralight bosons in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with a radially varying anisotropy

I De Martino - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Axions, and axionlike particles, have come back into fashion in the last decades as a
possible solution to the galactic-scale crisis suffered by the cold dark matter model. In the …

Barred spiral galaxies in modified gravity theories

M Roshan, I Banik, N Ghafourian, I Thies… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
When bars form within galaxy formation simulations in the standard cosmological context,
dynamical friction with dark matter (DM) causes them to rotate rather slowly. However …
