Abstract: (arXiv)
Considering a five-dimensional (5D) Riemannian spacetime with a particular stationary Ricci-flat metric, we have applied the recently developed Extended General Relativistic theory to calculate the lower limit for the size of some relevant galaxies: the Milky Way, Andromeda and M87. Our results are in very good agreement with observations.Note:
- improved version
- dimension: 5
- general relativity: validity test
- galaxy: model
