the prediction of modified Newtonian dynamics that a system's internal dynamics depend on the external gravitational field it sits in, breaking the strong equivalence principle.

In astrophysics, external field effect refers to the prediction of modified Newtonian dynamics that a system's internal dynamics depend on the external gravitational field it sits in, breaking the strong equivalence principle. This meaning comes from Bekenstein (1984) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
