    Anomalous radial acceleration of galaxies and clusters supports hyperconical modified gravity
    (2014) Monjo Agut, Robert; Banik, Indranil
    General relativity (GR) is the most successful theory of gravity, with great observational support at local scales. However, to keep GR valid at over cosmic scales, some phenomena (such as the flat galaxy rotation curves and the cosmic acceleration) require the assumption of exotic dark matter. The radial acceleration relation (RAR) indicates a tight correlation between dynamical mass and baryonicmass in galaxies. This suggests that the observations could be better explained by modified gravity theories without exotic matter. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is an alternative theory that was originally designed to explain flat galaxy rotation curves by using a new fundamental constant acceleration a0, the so-called Milgromian parameter. However, this non-relativistic model is too rigid (with insufficient parameters) to fit the large diversity of observational phenomena. In contrast, a relativistic MOND-like gravity naturally emerges from the hyperconical model, which derives a fictitious acceleration compatible with observations. This study analyses the compatibility of the hyperconi cal model with respect to RAR observations of 10 galaxy clusters obtained from HIFLUGCS and 60 high-quality SPARC galaxy rotation curves. The results show that a general relation can be fitted to most cases with only one or two parameters, with an acceptable chi-square and p-value. These findings suggest a possible way to complete the proposed modification of GR on a cosmic scale.
