Simulations of galaxies in an expanding Universe with modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) and with modified gravitational attractions (MOGA)

Abstract: The stability of galaxies is either explained by the existence of dark matter or caused by a modification of Newtonian acceleration (MOND). Here we show that the modification of the Newtonian dynamics can equally well be obtained by a modification of Newton's law of universal gravitational attraction (MOGA), by which an inverse square attraction from a distant object is replaced with an inverse attraction. This modification is often proposed in the standard model, and with the modification of the attraction caused by dark matter. The recently derived algorithm, Eur. Phys. J. Plus 137, 99 (2022); Class. Quantum Grav. 39, 225006 (2022), for classical celestial dynamics is used to simulate models of the Milky Way in an expanding universe and with either MOND or MOGA. The simulations show that the galaxies with MOND dynamics are unstable whereas MOGA stabilizes the galaxies. The rotation velocities for objects in galaxies with classical Newtonian dynamics decline inversely proportional to the square root of the distance $r$ to the galaxy's center. However, the rotation velocities are relatively independent of $r$ for MOGA and qualitatively in agreement with experimentally determined rotation curves for galaxies in the Universe. The modification of the attractions may be caused by the masses of the objects in the central part of the galaxy by the lensing of gravitational waves from far-away objects in the galaxy.

We present a statistical investigation of the radial evolution of 28 interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), measured in situ by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft from 2018 October to 2022 August. First, by analyzing the radial distribution of ICME classification based on magnetic hodograms, we find that coherent configurations are more likely to be observed close to the Sun. In contrast, more complex configurations are observed farther out. We also notice that the post-ICME magnet…

The adaptive BGM consists of three different categories of instruments playing the BGM of the winner sound design from the 2022 DareFightingICE Competition. The BGM adapts by changing the volume of each category of instruments. Each category is connected to a different element of the game. We then run experiments to evaluate the adaptive BGM by using a deep reinforcement learning A…

On 13-Crossing-Critical Graphs with Arbitrarily Large Degrees
A recent result of Bokal et al. [Combinatorica, 2022] proved that the exact minimum value of c such that c-crossing-critical graphs do not have bounded maximum degree is c=13. The key to that result is an inductive construction of a family of 13-crossing-critical graphs with many vertices of arbitrarily high degrees. While the inductive part of the construction is rather easy, it all relies on the fact that a certain 17-vertex base graph has the crossing number 13, which was originally verified…

In this work, 114 recent studies (2022-2024) applying prompt engineering in medicine, covering prompt learning (PL), prompt tuning (PT), and prompt design (PD) are reviewed. PD is the most prevalent (78 articles). In 12 papers, PD, …

For the problem of inferring a Gaussian graphical model (GGM), this work explores the application of a recent approach from the multiple testing literature for graph inference. The main idea of the method by Rebafka et al.

Comment on "Do near-threshold molecular states mix with neighboring $\bar QQ$ states?"
I comment on a paper by Christoph Hanhart and Alexey Nefediev, published in Phys. Rev. D 106, 114003 (2022). The authors discuss the interpretation of mesons close to their lowest decay threshold and present a mechanism for the formation of molecular states. The proposed formalism is then applied to the axial-vector mesons $D_{s1}(2536)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$, presenting two scenarios for the lighter meson, namely a $D^\star K$ molecule or a compact $c\bar{s}$ state. The authors argue that the lat…

Ford’s F-100 truck inspires enthusiasts to build electric restomods
Ford built an electric 1978 F-100 restomod that uses the company's new crate motor instead of donor Tesla motors like other restomods. It encourages enthusiasts and mod shops to build more, which is great for the environment and a model for the right to repair.

Reading the story tells you why.
First, syphilis rates are at a 70-year high, nationally. Between 2018 and 2022, syphilis rates rose about 80%.

Erin Fox, associate chief pharmacy officer for the University of Utah health system says
"That means you can't make other drugs on that manufacturing line.”

X-ray and Radio Monitoring of the Neutron Star Low Mass X-ray Binary 1A 1744-361: Quasi Periodic Oscillations, Transient Ejections, and a Disk Atmosphere
We report on X-ray (NICER/NuSTAR/MAXI/Swift) and radio (MeerKAT) timing and spectroscopic analysis from a three-month monitoring campaign in 2022 of a high-intensity outburst of the dipping neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 1A 1744-361. The 0.5-6.8 keV NICER X-ray hardness-intensity and color-color diagrams of the observations throughout the outburst suggests that 1A 1744-361 spent most of its outburst in an atoll-state, but we show that the source exhibited Z-state-like properties at the peak…

Cycling on the Freeway: The Perilous State of Open Source Neuroscience Software
Most scientists need software to perform their research (Barker et al., 2020; Carver et al., 2022; Hettrick, 2014; Hettrick et al., 2014; Switters and Osimo, 2019), and neuroscientists are no exception. Whether we work with reaction times, electrophysiological signals, or magnetic resonance imaging data, we rely on software to acquire, analyze, and statistically evaluate the raw data we obtain - or to generate such data if we work with simulations. In recent years there has been a shift toward …
