Constraints to a Yukawa gravitational potential from laser data to LAGEOS satellites
In this paper we investigate the possibility of constraining the hypothesis of a fifth force at the length scale of two Earth’s radii by investigating the effects of a Yukawa gravitational potential on the orbits of the laser–ranged LAGEOS and LAGEOS II satellites. The existing constraints on the Yukawa coupling α, obtained by fitting the LAGEOS orbit, are of the order of |α| < 10 − 10 for dist...
متن کاملTemporal Variations of the Earth's Gravitational Field from Satellite Laser Ranging to Lageos
We have estimated monthly values of the J2 and J3 Earth gravitational coefficients using LAGEOS satellite laser ranging (SLR) data collected between 1980 and 1989. For the same time period, we have also computed corresponding estimates of the variations in these coefficients caused by atmospheric mass redistribution using surface atmospheric pressure estimates t3⁄4om the European Center for Med...
متن کاملOn the possibility of measuring relativistic gravitational effects with a LAGEOS–LAGEOS II–OPTIS–mission
A space mission, OPTIS, has been proposed for testing the foundations of Special Relativity and post–Newtonian gravitation in the field of Earth. The constraints posed on the original OPTIS orbital geometry would allow for a rather wide range of possibilities for the final OPTIS orbital parameters. This freedom could be exploited for further tests of post-Newtonian gravity. In this paper we wis...
متن کاملSome comments about a recent paper on the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring in the gravitational field of the Earth with the laser-ranged LAGEOS and LAGEOS II satellites
In this brief note some comments about the observable used in a recently published paper on the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring in the gravitational field of the Earth are presented. It turns out that, among other things, the authors might have yielded an optimistic evaluation of the error budget because of an underestimation of the impact of the secular variations of the...
متن کاملA clarification about a recent paper on the measurement of the general relativistic Lense- Thirring in the gravitational field of the Earth with the laser-ranged LAGEOS and LAGEOS II satellites
In this brief note a clarification about the observable used in a recently published paper on the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring in the gravitational field of the Earth is presented. In a recently published paper [1], submitted 2 June 2004 and accepted 10 September 2004, a measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Ear...
