We study the well-known nearby early-type galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) and use the sample of its globular clusters to analyze its dynamics. We study both Newtonian and MOND models assuming three cases of orbital anisotropies: isotropic case, mildly tangentially anisotropic case and the radially anisotropic case based on the literature. We find that there are two regions with different values of the velocity dispersion: interior to ~ 3 effective radii the value of the velocity dispersion is approximately 150 km s?1 , whereas beyond ~ 3 effective radii its value increases to approximately 190 km s?1 , thus implying the increase of the total cumulative mass which is indicative of the existence of dark matter there in the Newtonian approach: the mass-to-light increases from M/LB = 7 in the inner regions to M/LB = 26 in the outer regions. We found that the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) model with dark halo provides good description of the dynamics of NGC 5128. Using three MOND models (standard, simple and toy), we find that they all provide good fits to the velocity dispersion of NGC 5128 and that no additional dark component is needed in MOND.

We study kinematics and dynamics of two lenticular galaxies that possess globular clusters (GCs) which extend beyond approximately seven effective radii. We analyze two nearby lenticular galaxies, NGC 1023 and NGC 4526, based on their GCs. We extract the kinematics of these galaxies and use it for dynamical modeling based on the Jeans equation. The Jeans equation was solved in both the Newtonian mass-follows-light approach assuming constant mass-to-light ratio and assuming a dark halo in the Navarro-Frenk-White form. We find that while the first galaxy, NGC 1023, does not need a significant amount of dark matter, in the other galaxy, NGC 4526, the dark component fully dominates stellar matter in the total dynamical mass. In this paper we also used three different MOND approaches and found that while for both galaxies MOND models can provide successful fits of the observed velocity dispersion, in the case of NGC 4526 we have a hint of an additional dark component even in the MOND framework.

AbstractAs found in Secco (2000, 2001), the presence of a (non-baryonic) dark halo in large-scale celestial objects, can induce a scale length on the luminous spheroid through the occurrence of an unexpected maximum in the virial potential energy (Clausius Virial, CV). The above mentioned investigations were grounded on two cored power law density profiles, but the same result is shown to hold for more refined and realistic models.
