Scintillation in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
We study the scintillation produced by time-varying gravitational fields within scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The problem is treated in the geometrical optics approximation for a very distant light source emitting quasi plane monochromatic electromagnetic waves. We obtain a general formula giving the time dependence of the photon flux received by a freely falling observer. In the weak-fiel...
متن کاملConstraints on Scalar-tensor Theories of Gravity from Density Perturbations in Innationary Cosmology
Spectra of density perturbations produced during chaotic innation in scalar-tensor theories of gravity are calculated, taking both adiabatic and isocurva-ture modes into account. Comparing the predicted spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies with the one observed by the COBE-DMR we calculate constraints on the parameters of these theories, which turn out to be strong...
متن کاملWeak lensing in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
This article investigates the signatures of various models of dark energy on weak gravitational lensing, including the complementarity of the linear and non-linear regimes. It investigates quintessence models and their extension to scalar-tensor gravity. The various effects induced by this simplest extension of general relativity are discussed. It is shown that, given the constraints in the Sol...
متن کاملConstraints on Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity from Density Perturbations in Inflationary Cosmology
Spectra of density perturbations produced during chaotic inflation in scalartensor theories of gravity are calculated, taking both adiabatic and isocurvature modes into account. Comparing the predicted spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies with the one observed by the COBE-DMR we calculate constraints on the parameters of these theories, which turn out to be stronge...
متن کاملQualitative Properties of Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
The qualitative properties of spatially homogeneous stiff perfect fluid and minimally coupled massless scalar field models within general relativity are discussed. Consequently, by exploiting the formal equivalence under conformal transformations and field redefinitions of certain classes of theories of gravity, the asymptotic properties of spatially homogeneous models in a class of scalar-tens...
