We determine the full post-Newtonian limit of theories of gravity that extend general relativity by replacing the Ricci scalar, R, in the generating Lagrangian by some analytic function, f(R). We restrict ourselves to theories that admit Minkowski space as a suitable background, and perform a perturbative expansion in the manner prescribed by the parameterised post-Newtonian formalism. Extra potentials are found to be present that are not accounted for in the usual treatment, and a discussion is provided on how they may be used to observationally distinguished these theories from general relativity at the post-Newtonian level.

  1. White dwarfs in minimal dilatonic gravity

    gr-qc 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    White dwarfs in minimal dilatonic gravity are sub-Chandrasekhar for all scalar Compton lengths, with maximum mass dropping from 1.425 to 1.09 solar masses at λΦ = 500 km.

  2. Effect of kappa-modified polarization force on Jeans instability in nonthermal EiBI-gravitating dust clouds

    astro-ph.GA 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A semi-analytic linear-stability model shows that kappa-distributed lighter species and EiBI gravity modify the Jeans instability in dust clouds, shortening the Jeans length to about 1.5e7 cm in ultracompact HII regions.
