Figure 26: MOND rotation curve fits for representative galaxies from the THINGS survey
[121, 166, 481]. Galaxies are chosen to illustrate a broad range of mass, from to
. All galaxies have high resolution interferometric 21 cm data for the gas and
photometry for mapping the stars. The Newtonian baryonic mass model is shown as a black line and
the MOND fit as a blue line (as in Figure 21). The fits use the interpolating function of Eq. 53 with
.
