Modified Newtonian Dynamics as an Alternative to the Planet Nine Hypothesis
Katherine Jones-Smith, Harsh Mathur
A new class of Kuiper belt objects that lie beyond Neptune with semimajor axes greater than 250 astronomical units show orbital anomalies that have been interpreted as evidence for…
An Electrostatic Analogy for Symmetron Gravity
Lillie Ogden, Katherine Jones-Smith, Harsh Mathur +1
The symmetron model is a scalar-tensor theory of gravity with a screening mechanism that suppresses the effect of the symmetron field at high densities characteristic of the solar…
An analysis of the LIGO discovery based on Introductory Physics
Harsh Mathur, Katherine Jones-Smith, Ashton Lowenstein
Binary black hole mergers are analyzed using concepts from introductory physics. Drawing upon Newtonian mechanics, dimensional considerations, and analogies between gravitational a…
Exploring extra dimensions with scalar waves
Katherine Jones-Smith, Harsh Mathur, Michael Verostek
This paper provides a pedagogical introduction to the physics of extra dimensions focussing on the ADD, Randall-Sundrum and DGP models. In each of these models, the familiar partic…
