Abstract
We study weak-field solutions having spherical symmetry in gravity; to this end, we solve the field equations for a non diagonal tetrad, starting from Lagrangian in the form , where is a small constant, parameterizing the departure of the theory from GR. We show that the classical spherically symmetric solutions of GR, i.e. the Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter solutions, are perturbed by terms in the form and discuss the impact of these perturbations in observational tests.
