Title: Are Over-massive Haloes of Ultra Diffuse Galaxies Consistent with Extended MOND?,
Abstract: A sample of Coma cluster ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are modelled in the
context of Extended Modified Newtonian Dynamics (EMOND) with the aim to explain
the large dark matter-like effect observed in these cluster galaxies.
We first build a model of the Coma cluster in the context of EMOND using gas
and galaxy mass profiles from the literature. Then assuming the dynamical mass
of the UDGs satisfies the fundamental manifold of other ellipticals, and that
the UDG stellar mass-to-light matches their colour, we can verify the EMOND
formulation by comparing two predictions of the baryonic mass of UDGs.
We find that EMOND can explain the UDG mass, within the expected modelling
errors, if they lie on the fundamental manifold of ellipsoids, however, given
that measurements show one UDG lying off the fundamental manifold, observations
of more UDGs are needed to confirm this assumption.
