Gravitational Lensing in Modified Gravity and the Lensing of Merging Clusters without Dark Matter
Gravitational lensing in a modified gravity (MOG) is derived and shown to describe lensing without postulating dark matter. The recent data for merging clusters identified with the interacting cluster 1E0657-56 is shown to be consistent with a weak lensing construction based on MOG without exotic dark matter. e-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملStudy of a Restricted Modified Gravity on astrophysical and cosmological scales
p { margin-bottom: 0in; direction: rtl; text-align: right; }p.ctl { font-size: 12pt; }a:link { color: rgb(0, 0, 255); } In this paper, we study a restricted modified gravity in which diffeomorphism symmetry is broken. We investigate the astrophysical implications of the model by using the corresponding gravitational potential. By using the weight function of the weak lensing , for the model,...
متن کاملWeak lensing, dark matter and dark energy
Weak gravitational lensing is rapidly becoming one of the principal probes of dark matter and dark energy in the universe. In this brief review we outline how weak lensing helps determine the structure of dark matter halos, measure the expansion rate of the universe, and distinguish between modified gravity and dark energy explanations for the acceleration of the universe. We also discuss requi...
متن کاملConstraining Modified Gravity and Growth with Weak Lensing ⋆
The idea that we live in a Universe undergoing a period of acceleration is a new, yet strongly held, notion in cosmology. As this can, potentially, be explained with a modification to General Relativity we look at current cosmological data with the purpose of testing aspects of gravity. Firstly we constrain a phenomenological model (mDGP) motivated by a possible extra dimension. This is charact...
متن کاملSeparating dark physics from physical darkness: Minimalist modified gravity versus dark energy
The acceleration of the cosmic expansion may be due to a new component of physical energy density or a modification of physics itself. Mapping the expansion of cosmic scales and the growth of large scale structure in tandem can provide insights to distinguish between the two origins. Using Minimal Modified Gravity (MMG)—a single parameter gravitational growth index formalism to parametrize modi...
