Estimation of xi parameter on the Moffat Gravity    [PDF]

Scalar Tensor Vector Gravity(STVG) is one of modified gravity theories
developed by John Moffat(2005). MOG is abbreviated name for this theory.It can
explain a galactic rotation curve and the structure formation without dark
matter. It can also explain acceleration universe without dark energy.But,they
obtaion only a spherically symmetric, static vacuum solution about MOG. On this
theory,the gravitational field produced by two point sources is not simply the
sum of their respective spherically symmetric static vacuum solutions.
However,in arXiv:0805.4774, the method to adapt MOG to extended distribution of
matter is described by phenomenalism. A new parameter "xi" is introduced in
this phenomenalical description.This paper shows estimation of MOG's xi
parameter. In conclusion,"xi" should be less than O(10^2) to reproduce "flat"
rotation curves observed.
