Review MOND: an alternative to DM?
H.S. Zhao Univ. of St. Andrews
2
MOND vs. DM 20-year theory by 2-3 people Cheap parameter a0=1mm/hr2
Good for rotation curves &Tully-Fisher correlation 60-year hypothesis + industry of simulators + particle detectors $Million$ ~100 exotic candidates Good lensing & Large scale
3
“Let’s kill MOND” Flavours of DM in/out fashion as Rotation Curves wiggle MOND consistently fits RCs, rarely needs fine-tuning.
4
In weak-g regime … anything is possible
Weak g<a0=1.2x 10-8 cm s-2 ~ Self-Grav. sheet of paper! ~ Earth-Grav. at Saturn 10AU still unconstrained by Ground/space labs (Pioneer) planet motions. Consequence universe-wise a0 ~ {G P}1/2 P: present mean baryon energy density.
5
a0 everywhere: everyone has a weak spot
The location of an object above or below the a0 line tells of the internal dynamics and how far they are from Newtonian. It is not claiming a velocity-dispersion size correlation. It is not clear how Newtonian theory with dark matter might account for the fact that these different objects, with a large range in size and environments, all have comparable internal accelerations. Spirals Ga0 ~ Rotation V4 /[Luminosity *(M/L)] GlobularCluster, MolecularCloud, dwarf, Ellip, X-Cluster a0 ~ Velocity2 /Length scale ~ cH0/6 ~ 100Msun/pc2
6
Baryonic Radical View MOND (Milgrom 1983)
g ~ R-1 far from a point mass g ~ R-2 near a point mass Strengthened where Newton is weak g = Max[ gn, (a0 gn)1/2 ] > gn =GM/R2 V2/R~ g ~ (gn a0 )1/2 ~ (GMa0)1/2 R-1 flat rotation curve if weak gn<g<a0 Crude: g not curl-free unlike gn= -Grad (G M_i/R_i)
7
Kuzmin MW disk: MOND ~ isothermal halo (20kpc core)
8
Orbits in disk MOND potential mimic in mild oblate CDM
Read & Moore (high a0)
9
MOND disks/spheres of increasing core density ?
Vrot(R) = (GM/R)1/2 if strong = (GM(R) a0)1/4 if weak gcore = Newtonian gravity at Core ~ central surface density. Plummer spheres /Kuzmin disks gcore /a0 = 0.125116 Simulate LSB disksMWHSB ellipticals Strong-g Weak-g
10
Nature's accelerators: Galaxies V2/R=g
Surprisingly V2 ~ R2 (Dwarf Irregular) ~ cst (in Spirals) ~ 1/R (Ellipticals)
11
Explained: Rise/fall/wiggles in Ellip & Spiral & Dwarves
Milgrom & Sanders, Sanders & McGaugh
12
Dark Matter/Baryon Exchange Rate Fluctuates
D/B =? Fornax (10-100) Milky Way (10) Globulars (0-1) Any ratio is possible
13
Fitting RCs by varying DM density cusp α?
14
Good questions MOND precisely describes galaxies, but is MOND
just handy empirical formula Or a decent physical theory? separable from Dark Matter Or fully degenerate? IF MOND works, we can fold all our dark matter experiments, save millions
15
Reviewed by Sanders & McGaugh ARAA
Good & bad of non-linear MOND as a Full theory. Ugly: fudged lensing
16
Relativity Bekenstein version: TeVeS fields astro-ph/0403694
Einstein tensor gαβ + gravitational potential Φ Scaler field: σ or μ(σ/a0 ) As Dielectric medium to make strong-than-Newtonian force Time-like vector uβ Forbid superluminal propagation of signal e.g. k~0.04, a0~1.2e-8 put in by hand
17
MR TeVeS pass Standard cosmology tests
Non-linear MOND effects insignificant Universe mildly weak-g: cH0 ~ 6a0. Standard strong-g tests in solar system a0 = Earth’s Gravity at Saturn distance Standard pulsar tests
18
MOND-like theories E.g., Geff(g)/G = (a0/g)K
K=1 for BM’s MOND K=0 Newtonian Gauss theorem well outside the masses GMtot/ (4 Pi R2) = (g/a0)K g = gn
19
MOND is Fair Gravity= baryon content 105 Msun gas cloud
= 105 Msun black hole = 105 suns globular = 105 suns dwarf gal … any density profile Blunt tool
20
Post-Bekenstein developments
Baumgardt, Grebel, Kroupa (MNRAS): Inflated dispersion of faint globulars Ciotti & Binney (MNRAS): Amplified Dynamical Friction. Read & Moore (MNRAS): Little Procession of satellite orbits Zhao Roche Lobe of globulars (with L. Tian) Distances in FRW universe (with X. Chen) Lensing in MOND (with Bacon, Taylor et al.)

Skordis et al. on CMB Pointecouteau & Silk Famaey & Binney
Possible consistency Pointecouteau & Silk need for DM in cluster Famaey & Binney High a0 for Milky Way
