In previous work, it was been shown that MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)
can be tested near the saddle points of the Newtonian gravitational potential
using the forthcoming LISA Pathfinder mission. All previous analysis focused on
one particular formulation of the MO-Dian theory, here dubbed Type I. We show
that in addition to the well known AQUAL formulation (which we dub Type III),
another possibility exists in the form of a driven Poisson equation for the
MONDian field. We look at similar quantitative and qualitative analysis in this
theory and also investigate typical Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR) resulting from
these theories for a typical LPF test. We show that a typical 50 km fly-by
would amplify the SNR from 28 to 35 between the two theories. We also suggest
that SNR will be enhanced for impact parameters as large as 1000km or larger.
Null constraints however remain as good but no better in this formulation than
any other.
