Randomized trial examines dark matter's impact on galactic rotation curves, suggesting a new theoretical framework.
Key Points
This work aims to present a unified framework that explains galactic dynamics phenomena traditionally attributed to dark matter and Modified Newtonian Dynamics.
Introduces the Gravitational Potential Response Framework (GPRF) for analyzing galactic dynamics.
Applies augmented Poisson equation derived from a linear constitutive relation without new particles or modified gravity.
Normalizes induction parameter per galaxy using the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation to derive predictions for rotation curves.
Recovers correct baryonic Tully-Fisher relation slope and predicts specific halo cutoffs for different galaxy masses.
Demonstrates consistency with observed Keplerian decline of the Milky Way as revealed by Gaia DR3, with k⁻¹ ≈ 14 kpc.
Highlights predictions of halo cutoffs that vary with galaxy mass, specifically appearing at larger radii for lower-mass galaxies.
