Abstract

Corrigendum to “Clusters of Galaxies in a Weyl Geometric Approach to Gravity”

Highlights

  • Minor Corrections. “15” should be changed to “14” in the following two sections

  • The number should be corrected in the phrase “the total mass for 15 of the outlier reduced ensemble of 17 clusters seems to be predicted correctly.”

  • In paragraph 6 of Introduction, it should be corrected in the sentence “For 15 of the 17 main reference clusters the empirical and the theoretical values for the total mass agree in the sense of overlapping 1σ error intervals.”

Summary

Erhard Scholz

In the article titled “Clusters of Galaxies in a Weyl Geometric Approach to Gravity” [1], there was an error in equation (47) that led to a wrong relation between the acceleration due to the scale connection (aφ) and the acceleration arising from the scalar field energy density (asf ). The correction of (47) has consequences for the model It makes a new run of the data evaluation based on the corrected dynamical equations necessary. The number should be corrected in the phrase “the total mass for 15 of the outlier reduced ensemble of 17 clusters seems to be predicted correctly (in the sense of overlapping 1σ error intervals).”. In paragraph 6 of Introduction, it should be corrected in the sentence “For 15 of the 17 main reference clusters the empirical and the theoretical values for the total mass agree in the sense of overlapping 1σ error intervals.”. The correction of (47) entails the following modifications in the equations of Section 2: aadd = aφ + asf = 2aφ.
