GW170817 falsifies dark matter emulators

S Boran, S Desai, EO Kahya, RP Woodard - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
On August 17, 2017 the LIGO interferometers detected the gravitational wave (GW) signal

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a possible way to explain the flat galaxy rotation
curves without invoking the existence of dark matter. It is, however, quite difficult to predict …

Brief review on scalar field dark matter models

LA Ureña-López - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The existence of dark matter in the universe has been solidly established in the last
decades, after the arrival of accurate cosmological and astrophysical observations, and …

The tensor-vector-scalar theory and its cosmology

C Skordis - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org

Gravitational alternatives to dark matter with tensor mode speed equaling the speed of light

C Skordis, T Złośnik - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
A number of theories of gravity have been proposed as proxies for dark matter in the regime

Tests of general relativity on astrophysical scales

JP Uzan - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2010 - Springer
While tested to a high level of accuracy in the Solar system, general relativity is under the
spotlight of both theoreticians and observers on larger scales, mainly because of the need to …
