Recently, the LIGO-Virgo collaboration discovered gravitational waves and in their first publication on the subject the authors also presented a graviton mass constraint as $m_g < 1.2 times 10^{-22}$ eV (Abbott et al., 2016). In the paper we analyze a potential to reduce upper bounds for graviton mass with future observational data on trajectories of bright stars near the Galactic Center. Since gravitational potentials are different for these two cases, expressions for relativistic advance for general relativity and Yukawa potential are different functions on eccentricity and semimajor axis, it gives an opportunity to improve current estimates of graviton mass with future observational facilities. In our considerations of an improvement potential for a graviton mass estimate we adopt a conservative strategy and assume that trajectories of bright stars and their apocenter advance will be described with general relativity expressions and it gives opportunities to improve graviton mass constraints. In contrast with our previous studies, where we present current constraints on parameters of Yukawa gravity (Borka et al., 2013) and graviton mass (Zakharov et al., 2016) from observations of S2 star, in the paper we express expectations to improve current constraints for graviton mass, assuming the GR predictions about apocenter shifts will be confirmed with future observations. We concluded that if future observations of bright star orbits during around fifty years will confirm GR predictions about apocenter shifts of bright star orbits it give an opportunity to constrain a graviton mass at a level around $5 times 10^{-23}$ eV or slightly better than current estimates obtained with LIGO observations.

In this paper we study the possibility of having a wormhole (WH) as a candidate for the Sgr A$^star$ central object and test this idea by constraining their geometry using the motion of S2 star and the reconstructed shadow images. In particular, we c
onsider three WH models, including WHs in Einstein theory, brane-world gravity, and Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell theory. To this end, we have constrained the WH throat using the motion of S2 star and shown that the flare out condition is satisfied. We also consider the accretion of infalling gas model and study the accretion rate and the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation as well as the shadow images.
Lorentz Invariance Violation in Quantum Gravity (QG) models or a non-zero photon mass, $m_gamma$, would lead to an energy-dependent propagation speed for photons, such that photons of different energies from a distant source would arrive at different
times, even if they were emitted simultaneously. By developing source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward models for such time delays from Gamma Ray Bursts, and marginalising over empirical noise models describing other contributions to the time delay, we derive constraints on $m_gamma$ and the QG length scale, $ell_{rm QG}$, using spectral lag data from the BATSE satellite. We find $m_gamma < 4.0 times 10^{-5} , h , {rm eV}/c^2$ and $ell_{rm QG} < 5.3 times 10^{-18} , h , {rm , GeV^{-1}}$ at 95% confidence, and demonstrate that these constraints are robust to the choice of noise model. The QG constraint is among the tightest from studies which consider multiple Gamma Ray Bursts and the constraint on $m_gamma$, although weaker than from using radio data, provides an independent constraint which is less sensitive to the effects of dispersion by electrons.
The MOND paradigm to the missing mass problem requires introducing a functional that is to be identified through observations and experiments. We consider AQUAL theory as a realization of the MOND. We show that the accurate value of the Earth GM meas
ured by the Lunar Laser Ranging and that by various artificial Earth satellites, including the accurate tracking of the LAGEOS satellites, constrain this functional such that some of the chosen/proposed functional are refuted.
General Relativity (GR) describes gravitation well at the energy scales which we have so far been able to achieve or detect. However, we do not know whether GR is behind the physics governing stronger gravitational field regimes, such as near neutron
stars or massive black-holes (MBHs). Gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy is a promising tool to test and validate GR and/or potential alternative theories of gravity. The information that a GW waveform carries not only will allow us to map the strong gravitational field of its source, but also determine the theory of gravity ruling its dynamics. In this work, we explore the extent to which we could distinguish between GR and other theories of gravity through the detection of low-frequency GWs from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) and, in particular, we focus on dynamical Chern-Simons modified gravity (DCSMG). To that end, we develop a framework that enables us, for the first time, to perform a parameter estimation analysis for EMRIs in DCSMG. Our model is described by a 15-dimensional parameter space, that includes the Chern-Simons (CS) parameter which characterises the deviation between the two theories, and our analysis is based on Fisher information matrix techniques together with a (maximum-mismatch) criterion to assess the validity of our results. In our analysis, we study a 5-dimensional parameter space, finding that a GW detector like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) or eLISA (evolved LISA) should be able to discriminate between GR and DCSMG with fractional errors below 5%, and hence place bounds four orders of magnitude better than current Solar System bounds.
Non-minimally coupled curvature-matter gravity models are an interesting alternative to the Theory of General Relativity and to address the dark energy and dark matter cosmological problems. These models have complex field equations that prevent a fu
ll analytical study. Nonetheless, in a particular limit, the behavior of a matter distribution can, in these models, be described by a Schrodinger-Newton system. In nonlinear optics, the Schrodinger-Newton system can be used to tackle a wide variety of relevant situations and several numerical tools have been developed for this purpose. Interestingly, these methods can be adapted to study General Relativity problems as well as its extensions. In this work, we report the use of these numerical tools to study a particular non-minimal coupling model that introduces two new potentials, an attractive Yukawa potential and a repulsive potential proportional to the energy density. Using the imaginary-time propagation method we have shown that stationary solutions arise even at low energy density regimes.
