Understanding the internal dynamics of ultra-diffused galaxies without invoking dark matter

A research group from IASBS led by Dr Hosein Haghi in collaboration with astronomers from the University of Bonn in Germany has shown that the internal dynamics of the ultra-diffused galaxy NGC 1052-DF44 can be understood within the framework of Milgromian dynamics (MOND) without invoking any dark matter at all. They found that the required stellar mass to explain the dynamics of this galaxy is remarkably consistent with the standard theories of formation and evolution of galaxies.
