External field effect of modified Newtonian dynamics in the Solar system

Luc Blanchet, Jerome Novak

The Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) has been formulated as a modification of the Poisson equation for the Newtonian gravitational field. This theory generically predicts a viola…

Radio interferometric observations of two core-dominated triple radio sources at z>3

D. Cseh, S. Frey, Z. Paragi +2

Aims. We selected two radio quasars (J1036+1326 and J1353+5725) based on their 1.4-GHz radio structure, which is dominated by a bright central core and a pair of weaker and nearly…

On the squeezed limit of the bispectrum in general single field inflation

Sébastien Renaux-Petel

We investigate the consistency relation relating the squeezed limit of the bispectrum to the scalar spectral index in single field models of inflation. We give a simple integral fo…
