Stellar and substellar objects in modified gravity

TL;DR

This paper reviews recent research on how modified gravity theories affect the evolution, structure, and observable properties of stars, brown dwarfs, exoplanets, and terrestrial planets, and proposes tests for these models.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of stellar and substellar objects in the context of modified gravity and suggests methods to test gravity models using these objects.

Findings

Modified gravity impacts stellar evolution and structure.

Cooling models of brown dwarfs and exoplanets are affected by gravity modifications.

Proposed observational tests to distinguish gravity models.

Abstract

The last findings on stellar and substellar objects in modified gravity are presented, allowing a reader to quickly jump into this topic. Early stellar evolution of low-mass stars, cooling models of brown dwarfs and giant gaseous exoplanets as well as internal structure of terrestrial planets are discussed. Moreover, possible test of models of gravity with the use of the discussed objects are proposed.
