A new perspective on MOND

Abstract

A novel interpretation of MOND is presented. For galactic data, in addition to Newtonian acceleration, there is an attractive acceleration peaking at Milgrom's parameter a_0. The peak lies within experimental error where a_0 = cH_0/2\pi; H_0 is the present-time value of the Hubble constant and c the velocity of light. The physical interpretation of this relation and its connection to Dark Energy are discussed.
