Does VIRGOHI21 Pose a Problem for MOND?
Scott Funkhouser, Occidental College, Los Angeles
March2005
"If the inferred parameters of the recently discovered dark galaxy VIRGOHI21 are verified then thedynamics of the body may represent a counter-example to the accelerations predicted by MOND."
my comment: I think several people on this forum have already been discussing this, and it has be in the media IIRC
So far this the first journal article type preprint I've seen on arxiv about it,
so I'm flagging it in case it can be of use to anyone.
as far as MOND, it aint over till it's over and it aint over yet. Has Ohwilleke commented on this Virgo dark galaxy thing?
