The gravitational field of an isolated, axisymmetric flat disk of spinning dust is calculated approximately in the weak-field limit of quasi-metric gravity. Boundary conditions single out the exponential disk as a "preferred" physical…

A halo model is presented which possesses a constant phase space density (Q) core followed by a radial CDM-like power law decrease in Q. The motivation for the core is the allowance for a possible primordial phase space density limit such…
Recently, we introduced the notion of "tracker fields," a form of quintessence which has an attractor-like solution. Using this concept, we showed how to construct models in which the ratio of quintessence to matter densities today is…

Dark energy models and modified gravity theories have been actively studied and the behaviors in the solar system have been also carefully investigated in a part of the models. However, the isotropic solutions of the field equations in the…

Knowledge of the shape of dark matter halos is critical to our understanding of galaxy formation, dynamics, and of the nature of dark matter itself. Polar ring galaxies (PRGs) --- early-type galaxies defined by their outer rings of gas,…

Recently it has been proposed that the main contributor to the dark energy of the Universe is a dynamical, slow evolving, spatially inhomogeneous scalar field called quintessence. We investigate the behavior of this scalar field at galactic…

We propose a quantum model of dark energy. The proposed candidate for dark energy is gluon field, as is well-known, gluons are the elementary particles. We assume that gluons may not be completely massless but have tiny masses, thus the…
