Scalar-tensor theories are among the most promising alternatives to general relativity that have been developed to account for some long standing issues in our understanding of gravity. Some of these theories predict the existence of a…
Cosmological departures from general relativity offer a possible explanation for the cosmic acceleration. To linear order, these departures (quantified by the model-independent parameter $\varpi$, referred to as a `gravitational slip')…
We study slow-roll inflation and the generation of primordial fluctuations in $F(T)$ gravity's rainbow. We obtain the second order action for scalar and tensor perturbations and then calculate the primordial power spectrum for them. Thus,…
In this work, we study several extensions of the higher curvature modification of $R^{2}$ inflation in the context of gravity's rainbow. We modify the $(R+R^{2})$ model by adding an $f_{1}R^3$-term, an $f_{2}R^4$-term, and an…

The gravitational-radiation-induced inspiral of a binary system of compact objects is considered. A scheme is described to model the regime in which the gravitational interaction is too strong to use weak-field approximation methods, but…

Magnetic fields play a crucial role in many astrophysical scenarios and, in particular, are of paramount importance in the emission mechanism and evolution of Neutron Stars (NSs). To understand the role of the magnetic field in compact…
We consider the effects of rotations on the calculation of some thermodynamical quantities like the free energy, internal energy and entropy. In ordinary gravity, when we evaluate the density of states of a scalar field close to a black…

We consider a broad class of interactions between radiation and a light scalar field, including both conformal and disformal couplings. Such a scalar field potentially acts on cosmological scales as dark energy and could also appear in…
