Abstract

We present modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) analysis for several of the lowest mass disk galaxies currently amenable to such analysis, with (baryonic) masses below 4 × 10 8 M ☉ . The agreement is good, extending the validity of MOND and its predicted mass velocity relation, to such low masses.
