Post-Newtonian approximation of teleparallel gravity coupled with a scalar field

We use the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism to explore the weak field approximation of teleparallel gravity non-minimally coupling to a scalar field ϕ, with arbitrary coupling function ω(ϕ) and potential V(ϕ). We find that all the PPN parameters are identical to general relativity (GR),...
