Radial acceleration relation from symmetron fifth forcesTools Burrage, Clare, Copeland, Edmund J. and Millington, Peter (2017) Radial acceleration relation from symmetron fifth forces. Physical Review D, D95 (6). 064050/1-064050/6. ISSN 2470-0029 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractWe show that the radial acceleration relation for rotationally supported galaxies may be explained, in the absence of cold dark matter, by a nonminimally coupled scalar field, whose fifth forces are partially screened on galactic scales by the symmetron mechanism. In addition, we show that sufficient energy is stored in the symmetron field to explain the dynamic stability of galactic disks.
