Title: Testing modified gravity with halo density profiles

Abstract: Modifications of gravity provide alternative explanation to
dark energy for late-time cosmic acceleration of the Universe.
Many modified gravity models (MG) introduce a new scalar degree of freedom
(dof)
which affects the gravitational force and Poisson equation.
However, the solar-system tests require MG to shield the scalar dof in
dense regions.
We have investigated how the screening mechanism of the scalar dof works on
halo scales.
