Orbital Precession and Hidden Symmetries in Scalar-Tensor Theories
Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville
We revisit the connection between relativistic orbital precession, the Laplace-Runge-Lenz symmetry, and the -channel discontinuity of scattering amplitudes. Applying this to sca…
Constraining Dark Energy from Local Group dynamics
D. Benisty, A. -C. Davis, N. W. Evans
This Letter develops a method to constrain the Cosmological Constant from binary galaxies, focusing on the Milky Way and Andromeda. We provide an analytical solution to the two…
Multi-scale Constraints on Scalar-Field couplings to Matter: The Geodetic and Frame-Dragging Effects
David Benisty, Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis
The impact of light scalars coupled conformally and disformally to matter on the geodetic and frame-dragging (FD) precessions is calculated. For larger frequencies the disformal in…
Stringent Pulsar Timing Bounds on Light Scalar Couplings to Matter
David Benisty, Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis
Pulsar Timing constraints on scalar-tensor theories with conformal and disformal couplings to matter are discussed. Reducing the dynamics to the motion in the centre of mass frame…
Casimir Tests of Scalar-Tensor Theories
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Benjamin Elder
We compute bounds and forecasts on screened modified gravity theories, specialising to the chameleon model in Casimir force experiments. In particular, we investigate the classical…
The Eccentricity Distribution of Wide Binaries
David Benisty, N. Wyn Evans, Anne-Christine Davis
Future Gaia and Legacy Survey of Space and Time data releases, together with wide area spectroscopic surveys, will deliver large samples of resolved binary stars with phase space c…
