A conformal coupling of the metric in the Jordan frame to the energy-momentum tensor, screens the scalar field gravitational coupling strength $G$ in modified gravity (MOG). The scalar field acquires a mass which depends on the local matter…

We comment on a recent paper by Deng et al. (Phys. Rev. D 79, 044014 (2009), arXiv:0901.3730) in which the Eddington-Robertson parameters for our modified gravity theory (MOG) are derived. We show by explicit calculation that the role of…
Dark matter is the generally accepted paradigm in astrophysics and cosmology as a solution to the higher rate of rotation in galaxies, among many other reasons. But since there are still some problems encountered by the standard dark matter…
