The Weak Lensing Mass of Cosmic Web Filaments and Modified Gravity (MOG)
J. W. Moffat
TL;DR
This paper investigates how modified gravity (MOG) can explain the weak lensing signals of cosmic web filaments without dark matter, aligning observations with theoretical predictions.
Contribution
It demonstrates that MOG with enhanced gravity strength can account for weak lensing data of filaments composed of galaxies and baryonic gas.
Findings
MOG explains weak lensing signals without dark matter.
Enhanced gravity strength aligns theory with observations.
Baryonic matter accounts for 5-15% of filament mass.
Abstract
The weak lensing of cosmic web filaments is investigated in modified gravity (MOG) and it is demonstrated that the detected galaxies and baryonic gas of order in filaments can with the enhanced value of the strength of gravity agree with the lensing data for filaments without dark matter.
