Radial acceleration relation from symmetron fifth forces
We show that the radial acceleration relation for rotationally supported galaxies may be explained, in the absence of cold dark matter, by a nonminimally coupled scalar field, whose fifth forces are partially screened on galactic scales by the symmetron mechanism. In addition, we show that sufficien...
