Abstract
Previous solar system constraints of the Brans-Dicke (BD) parameter have either ignored the effects of the scalar field potential (mass terms) or assumed a highly massive scalar field. Here, we interpolate between the above two assumptions and derive the solar system constraints on the BD parameter for any field mass. We show that for the solar system constraints relax for a field mass .
