I consider the implications of a modification of the Newtonian dynamics to galaxy systems. Masses and mass-to-light ratios are re-derived, on the basis of existing data, for binary galaxies, small groups, clusters of galaxies, and the Virgo Supercluster. For each type of galaxy system, the average M/L values come out to be a few solar units. These results eliminate the need to assume large amounts of hidden mass in galaxy systems, if the modified dynamics applies.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
M. Milgrom (1983) studied this question.
