Correlations of velocity dispersion (σ _host in km s ⁻¹) vs. effective host mass ( M _host = 7.25 M _host,baryon in solar masses) for virialized objects of various sizes in MONDian (circles) and Newtonian simulations (pluses). The lines are fits with arbitrary normalization for theoretically predicted scaling relations σ _host ∝ M ^1/4 _host,baryon in MOND and σ _host ∝ M ^1/3 _host,baryon in Newtonian simulations the best-fit slopes are very close to 1/4 and 1/3, respectively. Note that the value 7.25 scales the MOND baryonic mass to the Newtonian baryon plus halo mass.
