球状星团Palomar 14的现有数据与MOND并不矛盾
Current data on the globular cluster Palomar 14 are not inconsistent with MOND
摘要:
某些类型的球状星团有一个非常重要的性质,即在牛顿和修正的牛顿动力学(MOND)背景下对它们运动学的预测是不同的。在这里,我们要提醒最近声称的恒星运动学数据(使用17颗恒星)的球状星团帕洛玛14是不一致的MOND。我们使用Kolmogorov-Smirnov检验将观测结果与理论预测进行比较,该检验适用于小样本。我们发现,与目前可用的数据,MOND预测的速度分布只能被排除在一个非常低的置信水平,显然不足以声称MOND是伪造的。
英文摘要:
Certain types of globular clusters have the very important property that the predictions for their kinematics in the Newtonian and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) contexts are divergent. Here, we caution the recent claim that the stellar kinematics data (using 17 stars) of the globular cluster Palomar 14 are inconsistent with MOND. We compare the observations to the theoretical predictions using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, which is appropriate for small samples. We find that, with the currently available data, the MOND prediction for the velocity distribution can only be excluded with a very low confidence level, clearly insufficient to claim that MOND is falsified.
