Talk Title |
Probing alternative theories of gravitation via n-body simulations |
|
Abstract |
In the weak field limit General Relativity reduces, as is well known, to the Newtonian gravitation. Alternative theories to General Relativity, however, do not have necessarily this characteristic. Since the Newtonian gravitation is largely used to model with success the structures of the universe, such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies, for example, a way to probe and constrain alternative theories, in the weak field limit, is to apply them to model the structures of the universe. In the present study we consider how to probe alternative theories of gravitation using N-Body Code numerical simulations. |
