An acceleration scale of order $10^{-10}mathrm{m/s^2}$ is implicit in the baryonic Tully-Fisher and baryonic Faber-Jackson relations, independently of any theoretical preference or bias. We show that the existence of this scale in the baryonic Faber-Jackson relation is most apparent when data from pressure supported systems of vastly different scales including globular clusters, elliptical galaxies, and galaxy clusters are analyzed together. This suggests the relevance of the acceleration scale $10^{-10}mathrm{m/s^2}$ to structure formation processes at many different length scales and could be pointing to a heretofore unknown property of dark matter.

Dark matter phenomena in rotationally supported galaxies exhibit a characteristic acceleration scale of $g_dagger approx 1.2times 10^{-10}$ m s$^{-2}$. Whether this acceleration is a manifestation of a universal scale, or merely an emergent property
with an intrinsic scatter, has been debated in the literature. Here we investigate whether a universal acceleration scale exists in dispersion-supported galaxies using two uniform sets of integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data from SDSS-IV MaNGA and ATLAS$^{rm 3D}$. We apply the spherical Jeans equation to 15 MaNGA and 4 ATLAS$^{rm 3D}$ slow-rotator E0 (i.e., nearly spherical) galaxies. Velocity dispersion profiles for these galaxies are well determined with observational errors under control. Bayesian inference indicates that all 19 galaxies are consistent with a universal acceleration of $g_dagger=1.5_{-0.6}^{+0.9}times 10^{-10}$ m s$^{-2}$. Moreover, all 387 data points from the radial bins of the velocity dispersion profiles are consistent with a universal relation between the radial acceleration traced by dynamics and that predicted by the observed distribution of baryons. This universality remains if we include 12 additional non-E0 slow-rotator elliptical galaxies from ATLAS$^{rm 3D}$. Finally, the universal acceleration from MaNGA and ATLAS$^{rm 3D}$ is consistent with that for rotationally supported galaxies, so our results support the view that dark matter phenomenology in galaxies involves a universal acceleration scale.
We carry out a test of the radial acceleration relation (RAR) for galaxy clusters from two different catalogs compiled in literature, as an independent cross-check of two recent analyses, which reached opposite conclusions. The datasets we considered
include a Chandra sample of 12 clusters and the X-COP sample of 12 clusters. For both the samples, we find that the residual scatter is small (0.11-0.14 dex), although the best-fit values for the Chandra sample have large error bars. Therefore, we argue that at least one of these cluster samples (X-COP) obeys the radial acceleration relation. However, since the best-fit parameters are discrepant with each other as well as the previous estimates, we argue that the RAR is not universal. For both the catalogs, the acceleration scale, which we obtain is about an order of magnitude larger than that obtained for galaxies, and is agreement with both the recent estimates.
We review the possible roles of large scale shocks as particle accelerators in clusters of galaxies. Recent observational and theoretical work has suggested that high energy charged particles may constitute a substantial pressure component in cluster
s. If true that would alter the expected dynamical evolution of clusters and increase the dynamical masses consistent with hydrostatic equilibrium. Moderately strong shocks are probably common in clusters, through the actions of several agents. The most obvious of these agents include winds from galaxies undergoing intense episodes of starbursts, active galaxies and cosmic inflows, such as accretion and cluster mergers. We describe our own work derived from simulations of large scale structure formation, in which we have, for the first time, explicitly included passive components of high energy particles. We find, indeed that shocks associated with these large scale flows can lead to nonthermal particle pressures big enough to influence cluster dynamics. These same simulations allow us also to compute nonthermal emissions from the clusters. Here we present resulting predictions of gamma-ray fluxes.
We discuss the existence of an acceleration scale in galaxies and galaxy clusters. The presence of the same acceleration scale found at very different scales and in very different astrophysical objects strongly supports the existence of a fundamental
acceleration scale governing the observed gravitational physics. We also comment on the implication of such a fundamental acceleration scale on the problem of dark matter. We discuss the relevance of the fundamental acceleration for the nature of dark matter as well as for structure formation to be explored in future numerical simulations.
All galaxies without a radio-loud AGN follow a tight correlation between their global FIR and radio synchrotron luminosities, which is believed to be ultimately the result of the formation of massive stars. Two colliding pairs of galaxies, UGC12914/5
and UGC 813/6 deviate from this correlation and show an excess of radio emission which in both cases originates to a large extent in a gas bridge connecting the two galactic disks. We are aiming to clarify the origin of the radio continuum emission from the bridge. The radio synchrotron emission expected from the bridge regions is calculated, assuming that the kinetic energy liberated in the predominantly gas dynamic interaction of the respective interstellar media (ISM) has produced shock waves that efficiently accelerate nuclei and electrons to relativistic energies. We present a model for this acceleration and calculate the resulting radio emission, its spectral index and the expected high-energy gamma-ray emission. It is found that the nonthermal energy produced in the collision is large enough to explain the radio emission from the bridge between the two galaxies. The calculated spectral index at the present time also agrees with the observed value. The deviation of these two interacting galaxy systems from the standard FIR-radio correlation is consistent with the acceleration of an additional population of electrons. This process is not related to star formation and therefore it is expected that the systems do not follow the FIR-radio correlation. The acceleration of relativistic electrons in shocks caused by an ISM collision, in the same way as described here, is likely to take place in other systems as well, as in galaxy clusters and groups or high-redshift systems.
