Modified Gravity vs. ΛCDM Roman Shcherbakov Astronomy 202b final presentation 12 December 2007 Other Modified Gravity Models Tests on the scale of Solar system Tests on the scale of Galaxies Tests on cosmological scale Conclusions People are not always critical about their work – careful comparisons should be made Huge number of observational tests should be explained by alternative theories: the circle of possible models is shrinking MOND violates isotropy of space, linearity, covariance and may not be used to fit any data General Relativity on the scale of Solar system + Pioneer anomaly = weak constrains on modified gravity models Flat rotation curves = either dark matter /or/ scale-dependent modification of gravity Structure formation = presence of some dark matter component even for models with modified gravity Some modified gravity models (e.g. that by Moffat) may be as good as ΛCDM model in sum over all the tests. Additional research/more tests are needed. Bibliography * * “Dark” parts should be illuminated /or/ eliminated ΛCDM Modified Newtonian Dynamics Proposed by Milgrom in 1983 Heavily criticized thereafter – acceleration scale for aa0 for aa0 Many modifications of these laws appeared later “Stronger gravity” on large scales SUper GRAvity (SUGRA) – a candidate for the theory of everything Modified Gravity Tensor/Vector/Scalar theory by Moffat Bekenstein In contrast to MOND these theories: Do not violate 3-d Newton’s Law/conservation of momentum/ isotropy of space/Cosmological principle Have covariant description/equations are form-invariant Sometimes linear Have physical reasons to exist Pioneer anomaly Kepler’s Law of planetary motion Additional Solar-/Earth- ward acceleration for both spacecrafts Extreme relativistic pulsar PSR B1913+16 Flat rotation curves Rotation curves in dwarf Galax
