(???????)Hints for a Gravitational Transition in Tully-Fisher Data

We use an up-to-date compilation of Tully-Fisher data to search for transitions in the evolution of the Tully-Fisher relation. Using an up-to-date data compilation, we find hints at & AP;3s level for a transition at critical distances D-c & SIME;9 Mpc and D-c & SIME;17 Mpc. We split the full sample in two subsamples, according to the measured galaxy distance with respect to splitting distance Dc, and identify the likelihood of the best-fit slope and intercept of one sample with respect to the best-fit corresponding values of the other sample. For D-c & SIME;9 Mpc and D-c & SIME;17 Mpc, we find a tension between the two subsamples at a level of & UDelta;?2 > 17(3.5s). Using Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate that this result is robust with respect to random statistical and systematic variations of the galactic distances and is unlikely in the context of a homogeneous dataset constructed using the Tully-Fisher relation. If the tension is interpreted as being due to a gravitational strength transition, it would imply a shift in the effective gravitational constant to lower values for distances larger than D-c by & UDelta;G/G & SIME;-0.1. Such a shift is of the anticipated sign and magnitude but at a somewhat lower distance (redshift) than the gravitational transition recently proposed to address the Hubble and growth tensions (& UDelta;G/G & SIME;-0.1 at the transition redshift of zt & LSIM;0.01 (D-c & LSIM;40 Mpc)).
