Gravitational self-force in scalar-tensor gravity

Gravitational self-force in scalar-tensor gravity

Motivated by the theoretical possibility of floating orbits and the potential to contribute extra constraints on alternative theories, in this paper we derive the self-force equation for a small compact object moving on an accelerated world line in a background spacetime which is a solution of the coupled gravitational and …
