The sinusoidal potential is an alternative to the Newtonian potential. In this alternative, the potential of a point mass is φ= -(GM/r) Cos[kor], where ko = 2π/ λo and λo is determined empirically to be Ro/20, Ro=8 kpc. A parallel modification to electromagnetism has also been suggested φ=-(Q/r) Exp -[kor] (Bartlett 2004). Recently an equivalent absolute value for ko has been posited: ko2= πG (α 2 me) 4 c/ (h-bar)3. The sinusoidal potential has been developed in presentations at many recent meetings of the AAS & the DDA. Generally, short-range structure (galaxies and smaller) are dominated by gravitation; long-range (clusters of galaxies and larger) by electromagnetism.
30 Dorados is still a puzzle. Why should this region of intense star formation be between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way, but much closer to the former than the latter. Why should its size be roughly 400 pc? What is its connection to the Magellanic Stream? The sinusoidal potential may help.
