How does MOND work?

How does MOND work?

The MOND paradigm works with the principle that Newtonian gravity breaks down in the low acceleration limit (a ≪ a0 where a0 is an acceleration constant ≈1.2 × 10-10ms-2). Originally, MOND was proposed and introduced as an empirical law in the 1983 Milgrom papers (Milgrom 1983a−c) by analysing galaxy rotation curves.

What is MOND astronomy?

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a hypothesis that proposes a modification of Newton’s law of universal gravitation to account for observed properties of galaxies.

How does MOND relate to dark matter?

MOND is a paradigm that contends to account for the mass discrepancies in the Universe without invoking ‘dark’ components, such as ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’. It does so by supplanting Newtonian dynamics and General Relativity, departing from them at very low accelerations.

Can MOND explain gravitational lensing?

Abstract. Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is an alternative theory of gravity that aims to explain large-scale dynamics without recourse to any form of dark matter. However, the theory is incomplete, lacking a relativistic counterpart, and so makes no definite predictions about gravitational lensing.

Can MOND explain the bullet cluster?

A famous example is the Bullet Cluster, which consists of two such colliding clusters. Observations suggest that dark matter follows the stars in these events, which have a lower total mass than the gas cloud. MOND cannot explain why that is.

Is the Bullet Cluster in the Milky Way?

The Bullet Cluster (1E 0657-56) consists of two colliding clusters of galaxies. Strictly speaking, the name Bullet Cluster refers to the smaller subcluster, moving away from the larger one….
