A Recasting of Mond, Modified Newtonian Dynamics

Authors: Jo Ke

MOND, Modified Newtonian Dynamics, provides an alternative to dark matter and is successful at explaining many astronomical scenarios including the flat rotation curves of disk galaxies. MOND operates at very low accelerations and can be interpreted either as a modification of Newton's law of inertia, or as a modification of Newton's law of gravity. In this paper we recast MOND in terms of our conjecture of a weighting function that determines the dynamical mass from the baryonic mass. This enables us to preserve both Newton's law of inertia and Newton's law of gravity.
