Gravitomagnetism characterizes phenomena in the weak-field limit within the context of rotating systems. These are mainly manifested in the geodetic and Lense-Thirring effects. The geodetic effect describes the precession of the spin of a gyroscope in orbit about a massive static central object, while the Lense-Thirring effect expresses the analogous effect for the precession of the orbit about a rotating source. In this work, we explore these effects in the framework of Teleparallel Gravity and investigate how these effects may impact recent and future missions. We find that teleparallel theories of gravity may have an important impact on these effects which may constrain potential models within these theories.

We investigate the weak-field limit of scalar-tensor theory of gravity and show that results are directly depending on the coupling and self-interaction potential of the scalar field. In particular, corrections are derived for the Newtonian potential. We discuss astrophysical applications of the results, in particular the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies.

We study the Quantum Faraday rotation starting from the photon self-energy in the presence of a constant magnetic field. The Faraday angle is calculated in the non-degenerate regime and for weak field limit. Two physical scenarios, possibly characterized by these conditions, are the recombination epoch and the jets originated in pulsars. We discuss the resonant behavior that the Faraday angle exhibits in these scenarios and investigate the possibility of detecting cosmic magnetic fields through this resonant mechanism.

Abstract The weak field limit of the nonminimally coupled Boltzmann equation is studied, and relations between the invariant Bardeen scalar potentials are derived. The Jean’s criterion for instabilities is found through the modified dispersion relation. Special cases are scrutinised and considerations on the model parameters are discussed for Bok globules.

The existence of braneworld black holes may be of primordial origin, or may even be produced in high energy particle collisions in the laboratory and in cosmic ray showers as well. These black holes obey a modified mass–radius relationship compared to standard Schwarzschild black holes. Using the variational principle we calculate the bending angle of a light ray near the horizon of a braneworld black hole in the weak field limit. We next derive the expressions of several lensing quantities like the Einstein radius and the magnification for a point light source. These expressions are modified compared to the lensing quantities for standard Schwarzschild black holes and contain the scale of the extra dimensions.
