Abstract
Astrophysical applications of ETGs include the possibility of replacing dark matter in galaxy and clusters with modifications of gravity, the weak-field (Newtonian and post-Newtonian) limit, and gravitational waves. Dark matter at galactic and cluster scales is traditionally included in the realm of cosmology and is discussed in Chap. 7. Here we focus on the weak-field limit of metric f(R) gravity, referring the reader to well known sources for other ETGs. We then discuss gravitational waves in ETGs.
