摘要:

对于任何MONDian扩展的引力理论,其中螺旋星系的旋转曲线是通过物理学的变化而不是暗物质的假设来解释的,对于压力支持的系统,预期有一个通用的动力学行为:在特征半径处发生的速度弥散分布的外部平坦化,其中,该平坦速度色散的幅度和其出现的半径都被预测为显示出与系统的总质量不同的缩放。通过仔细分析球状星团和椭圆星系的动力学,我们能够显着扩展天文学的多样性的对象,其中MONDian重力已被测试,从螺旋星系,更大的质量范围所涵盖的压力支持系统。我们表明,一个通用的预计速度分散配置文件准确地描述了各类压力支持系统,并进一步,扩展重力的预期得到满足,在质量的7个数量级。这些观测到的尺度变化在暗物质宇宙学中是不可能的,需要在每个不同的天体物理系统的尺度上进行特殊的解释。

英文摘要:

For any MONDian extended theory of gravity where the rotation curves of spiral galaxies are explained through a change in physics rather than the hypothesis of dark matter, a generic dynamical behavior is expected for pressure supported systems: an outer flattening of the velocity dispersion profile occurring at a characteristic radius, where both the amplitude of this flat velocity dispersion and the radius at which it appears are predicted to show distinct scalings with the total mass of the system. By carefully analyzing the dynamics of globular clusters and elliptical galaxies, we are able to significantly extend the astronomical diversity of objects in which MONDian gravity has been tested, from spiral galaxies, to the much larger mass range covered by pressure supported systems. We show that a universal projected velocity dispersion profile accurately describes various classes of pressure supported systems, and further, that the expectations of extended gravity are met, across seven orders of magnitude in mass. These observed scalings are not expected under dark matter cosmology, and would require particular explanations tuned at the scales of each distinct astrophysical system.
