Cosmology seminar: Jeremy Sakstein

Jeremy Sakstein is a Postdoctoral Researcher at ICG Portsmouth, UK.

Recent progress in testing alternate theories of gravity

Alternate theories are an active area of modern cosmological research. In this talk I will present some recent progress in looking for new and novel astrophysical probes of some popular theories. In particular, I will discuss the new phenomena exhibited by stars and galaxies when the theory includes the Vainshtein screening mechanism and will present new constraints on disformal theories using solar system probes.
