Abstract:
There is an explanation of the rotation curves in the periphery of spiral galaxies based on MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Considering the motion of Magellanic Clouds in the gravitational field of Milky Way, we compare predictions of the CDM halo model with the cosmic repulsion term included to those obtained in the framework of the MOND theory. Our results demonstrate that the predictions of the CDM halo and MOND models differ very substantially, especially in the case of the Large Magellanic Cloud motion.
