Neutron stars in the symmetron model
Bernardo F. de Aguiar, Raissa F. P. Mendes, F. T. Falciano
Screening mechanisms are often deployed by dark energy models in order to conceal the effects of their new degrees of freedom from the scrutiny of terrestrial and solar system expe…
On the possibility of setting a new constraint to scalar-tensor theories
Raissa F. P. Mendes
Scalar-tensor theories (STTs) are a widely studied alternative to General Relativity (GR) in which gravity is endowed with an additional scalar degree of freedom. Although severely…
Instability of nonminimally coupled scalar fields in the spacetime of slowly rotating compact objects
Raissa F. P. Mendes, George E. A. Matsas, Daniel A. T. Vanzella
Nonminimally coupled free scalar fields may be unstable in the spacetime of compact objects. Such instability can be triggered by classical seeds or, more simply, by quantum fluctu…
