Newtonian and modified newtonian gravitational simulation of spiral galaxies

الملخص EN

One of the most powerful tools for any stellar dynamics is the N-body simulation.

In an N-body simulation the motion of N particles is followed under their mutual gravitational attraction.

In this paper the gravitational N-body simulation is described to investigate Newtonian and non- Newtonian (modified Newtonian dynamics) interaction between the stars of spiral galaxies.

It is shown that standard Newtonian interaction requires dark matter to produce the flat rotational curves of the systems under consideration, while modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) theorem provides a flat rotational curve and gives a good agreement with the observed rotation curve ; MOND was tested as an alternative to the dark matter hypothesis.

So that MOND hypothesis has generated better rotation curves than Newtonian theorem.
