Investigating the radial acceleration relation in early-type galaxies
  using the Jeans analysis
  Investigating the gravitational field in the early-type galaxies (ETGs, i.e.
ellipticals and lenticulars) up to large radii is observationally difficult. It
is questionable how the radial acceleration (RAR) in the ETGs looks like, i.e.
the relation between the dynamically inferred gravitational acceleration and
the acceleration expected from the distribution of the visible matter. This
relation is nearly universal for the spiral galaxies, in agreement with the
MOND modified dynamics paradigm. In this contribution, we investigate a sample
of 15 ETGs. We extract their full kinematic profiles out to several effective
radii from their globular cluster systems and estimate their gravitational
field using the Jeans equation. We parametrize the gravitational field by that
produced by the stars and a Navarro-Frenk-White DM halo. We find that only 4-5
of our ETGs follow the RAR for the spiral galaxies. All these galaxies are fast
rotators, have disky isophotes, appear mostly very elongated and the have
bluest colors in our sample. This suggests that they might be spiral galaxies
which lost their gas. Our galaxies deviating from the RAR for the spirals
either disprove MOND, contain unobserved matter, or indicate a flaw in the
method.
