Title: Scalar Field Models: From the Pioneer Anomaly to Astrophysical
Constraints

Authors: J. Paramos
Comments: Seven pages, one figure. To be published in the Proceedings of the
New Worlds in Astroparticle Physics '05, Faro, Portugal
\\
In this work we study how scalar fields may affect solar observables, and use
the constraint on the Sun's central temperature to extract bounds on the
parameters of relevant models. Also, a scalar field driven by a suitable
potential is shown to produce an anomalous acceleration similar to the one
found in the Pioneer anomaly.
