Astronomical Tests for Extended Gravity: Possible Constraints on f(R) with Vanishing Cosmological Constant

We discuss the predictions of Starobinsky model of f (R)-gravity with vanishing cosmological constant at the scales, typical for galaxies and galaxy clusters. We show that at current observational accuracy there is no significant difference in cut-off radius values for Starobinsky model and general...
