Tests of Gravity in the Local Universe
ABSTRACT: Gravity theories and large-scale cosmological tests have been actively pursued in recent years. This talk will focus on a new arena for astrophysical tests of gravity: dwarf galaxies and stars in the nearby universe. Theoretical predictions and observational constraints from existing data will be discussed.
