Asymptotic behavior of a scalar field with an arbitrary potential trapped on a Randall-Sundrum’s braneworld: the effect of a negative dark radiation term on a Bianchi I brane

TL;DR: In this article, a phase space analysis of a quintessence field and a perfect fluid trapped in a Randall-Sundrum's Braneworld of type 2 is presented, where the effect of the projection of the Weyl tensor onto the three-brane in the form of a negative Dark Radiation term is considered.

Evolution of the fine-structure constant in runaway dilaton models

TL;DR: In this article, the fine-structure constant α in the string-inspired runaway dilaton class of models of Damour, Piazza and Veneziano is studied.

Cosmological implications of modified gravity induced by quantum metric fluctuations

TL;DR: In this paper, the cosmological implications of modified gravities induced by the quantum fluctuations of the gravitational metric were investigated, and it was shown that a large variety of models can be constructed, which, depending on the numerical values of the model parameters, can exhibit both accelerating and decelerating behaviors.

Probing gravity with a joint analysis of galaxy and CMB lensing and SDSS spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, a probe of gravity from large-scale structure, using BOSS LOWZ and CMASS spectroscopic samples, with lensing measurements from SDSS (galaxy lensing) and Planck (CMB lensing).

The relationship between infrared, optical, and ultraviolet extinction

TL;DR: In this article, the average extinction law over the 3.5 micron to 0.125 wavelength range was derived for both diffuse and dense regions of the interstellar medium. And the validity of the law over a large wavelength interval suggests that the processes which modify the sizes and compositions of grains are stochastic in nature.
