Testing MOG theory in the Milky Way
  We perform a test of John Moffat's Modified Gravity theory (MOG) within the
Milky Way, adopting the well known "Rotation Curve" method. We use the dynamics
of observed tracers within the disk to determine the gravitational potential as
a function of galactocentric distance, and compare that with the potential that
is expected to be generated by the visible component only (stars and gas) under
different "flavors" of the MOG theory, making use of a state-of-the-art setup
for both the observed tracers and baryonic morphology. Our analysis shows that
in both the original and the modified version (considering a self-consistent
evaluation of the Milky Way mass), the theory fails to reproduce the observed
rotation curve. We conclude that in none of its present formulation, the MOG
theory is able to explain the observed Rotation Curve of the Milky Way.
