Distinguishing Modified Newtonian Dynamics from dark matter with galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements

As an alternative to dark matter, Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) can explain dynamical measurements of galaxies on small scales. It is, however, unclear whether MOND still works for galaxies on the large scale. In this study, we use galaxy- galaxy (g-g) weak lensing measurements to examine...
