Fundamental physics from galaxies

Abstract:

Galactic-scale tests have proven to be powerful tools in constraining fundamental physics in previously under-explored regions of parameter space. In this thesis we use astrophysical systems to test some of the fundamental principles governing our current theories of the Universe, through the development of source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward models.

We consider modifications to the propagation of light by one of three effects: quantum gravity (QG), a non-zero photon mass a...
