Testing Modified Gravity with Globular Cluster Velocity Dispersions
Globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way have characteristic velocity dispersions that are consistent with the predictions of Newtonian gravity, and may be at odds with Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). We discuss a modified gravity (MOG) theory that successfully predicts galaxy rotation curves, galaxy cluster masses and velocity dispersions, lensing, and cosmological observations, yet produc...
متن کاملCosmology using Cluster Internal Velocity Dispersions
We compare the cumulative distribution of internal velocity dispersions of galaxy clusters,N(> σv), for a large observational sample to those obtained from a set of N– body simulations that we run for seven COBE–normalized cosmological scenarios. They are: the standard CDM (SCDM) and a tilted (n = 0.85) CDM (TCDM) model, a cold+hot DM (CHDM) model with Ων = 0.25, two low–density flat CDM (ΛCDM)...
متن کاملVelocity dispersions and mass - to - light ratios for 9 globular clusters in M 31
We present internal velocity dispersion determinations from high-resolution spectroscopic observations of a sample of nine globular clusters in M31. Comprehensive numerical simulations are used to show that the typical uncertainty of our velocity dispersion measurements is ∼5%. Using these new velocity dispersions together with structural parameters derived from HST observations, we estimate th...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of clusters in the ESO Distant Cluster Survey ( EDisCS ) ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Redshifts , velocity dispersions & substructure for 5 clusters
We present spectroscopic observations of galaxies in 4 clusters at z = 0.7 − 0.8 and in one cluster at z ∼ 0.5 obtained with the FORS2 spectrograph on the VLT as part of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS), a photometric and spectroscopic survey of 20 intermediate to high redshift clusters. We describe our target selection, mask design, observation and data reduction procedures, using these...
