Testing MOND with VirgoHI21

Abstract

The 'dark galaxy' VIRGOHI21 seems to be composed of an unusually high proportion of darkmatter and is situated in a strong external gravitational field. As such it offers a rare test for theories of modified dynamics. If the system is bound then its dynamics are inconsistent with those predicted by theMOND theory.
