The Rastall gravity is a modification of Einstein's general relativity, in which the energy-momentum conservation is not satisfied and depends on the gradient of the Ricci curvature. It is in dispute whether the Rastall gravity is equivalent to the general relativity (GR). In this work, we constrain the theory using the rotation curves of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) spiral galaxies. Through fitting the rotation curves of LSB galaxies, we obtain the parameter $\beta$ of the Rastall gravity. The $\beta$ values of LSB galaxies satisfy Weak Energy Condition (WEC) and Strong Energy Condition(SEC). Combining the $\beta$ values of type Ia supernovae and gravitational lensing of elliptical galaxies on the Rastall gravity, we conclude that the Rastall gravity is equivalent to the general relativity.

Quasinormal modes of scalar perturbations in Rastall thick brane
The graviscalar quasinormal mode spectrum and late-time power-law tails of a Rastall thick brane are computed numerically, showing that the Rastall parameter λ controls mode lifetimes and tail exponents.

Impact of Rastall gravity on hydrostatic mass of galaxy clusters
Rastall gravity modifies hydrostatic mass estimates of galaxy clusters to produce near-unity slopes when compared to baryonic mass (no dark matter) or lensing mass (with dark matter).
