Spontaneous violation of the energy conditions
A. W. Whinnett, Diego F. Torres
A decade ago, it was shown that a wide class of scalar-tensor theories can pass very restrictive weak field tests of gravity and yet exhibit non-perturbative strong field deviation…
Neutron Stars in a Varying Speed of Light Theory
A. W. Whinnett
We study neutron stars in a varying speed of light (VSL) theory of gravity in which the local speed of light depends upon the value of a scalar field . We find that the masses a…
Spontaneous Scalarization and Boson Stars
A. W. Whinnett
We study spontaneous scalarization in Scalar-Tensor boson stars. We find that scalarization does not occur in stars whose bosons have no self-interaction. We introduce a quartic se…
Charged Scalar-Tensor Boson Stars: Equilibrium, Stability and Evolution
A. W. Whinnett, Diego F. Torres
We study charged boson stars in scalar-tensor (ST) gravitational theories. We analyse the weak field limit of the solutions and analytically show that there is a maximum charge to…
Mass and Weak Field Limit of Boson Stars in Brans Dicke Gravity
A. W. Whinnett
We study boson stars in Brans Dicke gravity and use them to illustrate some of the properties of three different mass definitions: the Schwarzschild mass, the Keplerian mass and th…
