Abstract We continue our analysis of Newtonian Fractional-Dimension Gravity, an extension of the standard laws of Newtonian gravity to lower dimensional spaces including those with fractional (i.e., non-integer) dimension. We apply our model to three rotationally supported galaxies: NGC 7814 (Bulge-Dominated Spiral), NGC 6503 (Disk-Dominated Spiral), and NGC 3741 (Gas-Dominated Dwarf). As was done in the general cases of spherically-symmetric and axially-symmetric structures, which were studied in previous work on the subject, we examine a possible connection between our model and Modified Newtonian Dynamics, a leading alternative gravity model which explains the observed properties of these galaxies without requiring the Dark Matter hypothesis. In our model, the MOND acceleration constant a0 ≃ 1.2 × 10−10m s−2 can be related to a natural scale length l0, namely $a_{0} \approx GM/l_{0}^{2}$ for a galaxy of mass M. Also, the empirical Radial Acceleration Relation, connecting the observed radial acceleration gobs with the baryonic one gbar, can be explained in terms of a variable local dimension D. As an example of this methodology, we provide detailed rotation curve fits for the three galaxies mentioned above.
