Astrophysical Constraints on the Bumblebee Model

Abstract

In this work the Bumblebee model for spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking is considered in the context of spherically symmetric astrophysical bodies. A discussion of the modified equations of motion is presented and constraints on the parameters of the model are perturbatively obtained.
