We performed various tests on a cosmological model in which the string gauge field, and its coupling to matter, is used to explain the rotation dynamics of stars in a galaxy. Observations used include perihelion precession and galaxy rotation curves. We solved precession motions for perturbations of 1) a Lorenz-like force and 2) a general power law central force. For the latter case, a simple rule judging pro/retrograde motions is derived. We attributed the precession of solar system planets to the force due to the string field and calculated the field strengths. We then fitted the resultant field strengths with a profile consisting one part generated by the Sun and another background due to other matter in the Milky Way. We used the Milky Way rotation curve to estimate the field strength and compared it with the one found by precession. The field strengths in another 22 galaxies are also analyzed. The strengths form a range that spans 2 orders of magnitude and contains the value found for the Milky Way. We also deduced from the model a relation between field strength, galaxy size and luminosity and verified it with data of the 22 galaxies.
