Journal Article
Burrage, C., Parkinson, D., & Seery, D. (2017). Beyond the growth rate of cosmic structure: Testing modified gravity models with an extra degree of freedom. Physical Review D, 96(4), Article 043509. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.96.043509

© 2017 American Physical Society. In "modified" gravity the observed acceleration of the universe is explained by changing the gravitational force law or the number of degrees of freedom in the gravitational sector. Both possibilities can be tested b... Read More about Beyond the growth rate of cosmic structure: Testing modified gravity models with an extra degree of freedom.

Radial acceleration relation from symmetron fifth forces (2017)
Journal Article
Burrage, C., Copeland, E. J., & Millington, P. (2017). Radial acceleration relation from symmetron fifth forces. Physical Review D, D95(6), Article 064050. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.95.064050

We show that the radial acceleration relation for rotationally supported galaxies may be explained, in the absence of cold dark matter, by a nonminimally coupled scalar field, whose fifth forces are partially screened on galactic scales by the symmet...
