Abstract:
We use the rotation curves of 13 galaxies to test the nonsymmetric gravitaional theory (NGT). If we follow Moffat's assumption of a constant mass-to-light for all galaxies then we shall find that the two supposedly universal constants r0, L0 to show a large scatter. By regarding the mass-to-light ratio as a free parameter for each galaxy, and adjusting the values of r0, L0, we find that NGT can well account for the observed rotation curves. Further, the mass-to-light ratios so found show the well-known trend along the Hubble morphological sequence.
Keywords:rotation curves   nonsymmetric granvitational theory   mass-to-light ratio
