HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
It's nail in coffin time for MOND. If a galaxy is found that has no DM then alternative gravity theories intended to explain DM away are all falsified. They need DM in every galaxy without exception. Will MONDophiles and MONDomaniacs recant? I'm not holding my breath.

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
How does it keep together? One would expect that the gravitational pull couldn't keep it together, and slower rotation would have made it smaller.

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
It keeps together by self gravitation. It's not the mass that matters, it's whether the internal velocities are small enough. For the stability under gravity the Virial Theorem states that twice the average internal kinetic energy is balanced in magnitude by the average gravitational potential energy.

The virial theorem is in fact how Fritz Zwicky discovered dark matter. Looking at theComa Cluster of galaxies he saw that the velocities were too high for the observed masses. These diffuse galaxies have low enough internal velocities that the gravity of the observed objects is enough to hold it together. Not so for the Milky Way and more common galaxies.
I think I got the idea how that is derived, but I need to go through it later with more rested brain.

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
The virial theorem is one of the most important formulae in astrophysics. At the large scale you can get the mass of a cluster of galaxies and more in the neighborhood you can get the average inner temperature of the Sun. It's everywhere.

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
Indeed there are many papers on the essential role of DM in galaxy formation. Without DM one can only make globular cluster size objects. IIRC there’s an older thread where folks propose that these diffuse galaxies have lost their DM through tidal interactions with the main galaxy in their neighborhood. I’d post a link but my fingers are fat and I’m still lounging in bed with only a phone.

And I'm sure I've seen simulations that demonstrate how both normal and DM redistribute themselves during galactic mergers. So do we suppose these galaxies to have formed in the absence of DM or to have somehow lost their DM in some manner? I can readily see the implications for MOND but does this tell us something we didn't know about DM?

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
It’s done for galaxy clusters in this way. Detailed studies of galaxies yield a mass to luminosity ratio, M/L. Spirals and ellipticals have very different M/L. With a decent distance and angular size one has a mean radius. The magnitude of the gravitational potential energy is then given by GM/R.turboscrew wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 5:06 pm It looks like the harder part is figuring out the potential caused by a "fog" of other particles in such a way that it applies to "any particle" (or average particle).

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
First you calculate the kinetic energy of one "particle" on the average orbit.
Then you sum for all the "particles" on the average orbit.
Then you sum over the cross-section of the half disk.
If the results match, the system is stable. If not, the difference shows the speed of shrinking/expanding.
Am I even in the "hoods"?

Re: HST observations confirm SOME galaxies lack dark matter
Only this part has a problem. Outside a homogeneous sphere gravity is inverse square of R. So the potential is inverse R. (Logarithmic laws for potential happen for gravity in only 2 space dimensions with a result that force is 1/R. But you’re right that in a homogeneous sphere force is linear inside.)turboscrew wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 11:42 am I recall gravitational force is logarithmic outside the ball of mass, but linear inside the (homogeneous) ball. Thus the GM/R?
Yes. But you’re making it more hard. All you need is the velocity dispersion of the particles, their number and masses. That gives the average kinetic energy. Compare that to the average potential energy given by the mass and size and you’re set.First you calculate the kinetic energy of one "particle" on the average orbit.
Then you sum for all the "particles" on the average orbit.
Then you sum over the cross-section of the half disk.
If the results match, the system is stable. If not, the difference shows the speed of shrinking/expanding.

That is an unnecessary complication. Since F(r) ~ GM/r^2 the dot product with r gives ~ GM/r the potential.
