We provide an updated test for modifications of gravity from a sample of wide-binary stars from Gaia DR3, and their sky-projected relative velocities. Here we extend on our earlier 2023 study, using several updated selection cuts aimed at reducing contamination from triple systems with an undetected third star. We also use improved mass estimates from Gaia FLAME, and we add refinements to previous modelling of the triple and other populations and the model-fitting. We fit histograms of observed vs Newtonian velocity differences to a flexible mixture of binary + triple populations with realistic eccentricity distributions, plus unbound flyby and random-chance populations. We find as before that Newtonian models provide a significantly better fit than MOND, though improved understanding of the triple population is necessary to make this fully decisive.

Modified Newtonian Dynamics: Observational Successes and Failures
This review argues that MOND's demonstrated successes, chiefly the tight Radial Acceleration Relation, are sufficient to maintain its relevance despite unresolved tensions with solar-system, cluster, and wide-binary o...
