TLDR
In this article, it is shown that a model for inertial mass called quantised inertia, or MiHsC (Modified inertia by a Hubble-scale Casimir effect) predicts the rotational acceleration of the 153 good quality galaxies in the SPARC dataset (2016 AJ 152 157), with a large range of scales and mass, from just their visible baryonic matter, the speed of light and the co-moving diameter of the observable universe.
Abstract
It is shown here that a model for inertial mass, called quantised inertia, or MiHsC (Modified inertia by a Hubble-scale Casimir effect) predicts the rotational acceleration of the 153 good quality galaxies in the SPARC dataset (2016 AJ 152 157), with a large range of scales and mass, from just their visible baryonic matter, the speed of light and the co-moving diameter of the observable universe. No dark matter is needed. The performance of quantised inertia is comparable to that of MoND, yet it needs no adjustable parameter. As a further critical test, quantised inertia uniquely predicts a specific increase in the galaxy rotation anomaly at higher redshifts. This test is now becoming possible and new data shows that galaxy rotational accelerations do increase with redshift in the predicted manner, at least up to $Z=2.2$ .

On the carrier of inertia

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a change in momentum will inevitably perturb the all-embracing vacuum, whose reaction we understand as inertia, and that the vacuum embodies photons, but in pairs without net electromagnetic fields.

Progress in the Composite View of the Newton Gravitational Constant and Its Link to the Planck Scale

TL;DR: A review of recent progress in the composite view of the Newtonian gravity constant can be found in this article , where the authors claim that the circular problem was solved a few years ago and that it is therefore of little or no use to express G through the Planck units.

Theoretical implications of the galactic radial acceleration relation of McGaugh, Lelli, and Schombert

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that suitably constrained LCDM and conformal gravity also produce such a universal correlation function, consistent with the empirical MOND model, not requiring dark matter.

A possible flyby anomaly for Juno at Jupiter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an orbital model suited to the time window close to the perijove of the Earth and showed that an anomalous acceleration of a few mm/s2 is also present in this case.

Modified Newtonian Gravity, Wide Binaries and the Tully-Fisher Relation

Luis Acedo
- 14 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple non-Newtonian model of gravity was proposed to explain both the wide binaries anomaly and the anomalous rotation curves of galaxies as codified by the Tully-Fisher relation.

Black hole explosions

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any black hole will create and emit particles such as neutrinos or photons at just the rate that one would expect if the black hole was a body with a temperature of (κ/2π) (ħ/2k) ≈ 10−6 (M/M)K where κ is the surface gravity of the body.

Notes on black-hole evaporation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined various aspects of black-hole evaporation and proposed a technique for replacing the collapse by boundary conditions on the past horizon, which retains the essential features of the collapse while eliminating some of the difficulties.

A modification of the newtonian dynamics as a possible alternative to the hidden mass hypothesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the possibility that there is not much hidden mass in galaxies and galaxy systems and proposed a modified version of the Newtonian dynamics to describe the motion of bodies in a gravitational field (of a galaxy, say).

Rotational properties of 21 SC galaxies with a large range of luminosities and radii, from NGC 4605 /R = 4kpc/ to UGC 2885 /R = 122 kpc/

TL;DR: In this article, major axis spectra extending to the faint outer regions of the galaxies were used to deduce rotation curves for 21 galaxies whose properties encompass a wide range of radii, masses, and luminosities.
