The Hubble Constant from the Gravitational Lens
We present a refined gravitational lens model of the four-image lens system B1608+656 based on new and improved observational constraints: (i) the three independent time-delays and flux-ratios from Very Large Array (VLA) observations, (ii) the radio-image positions from Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA) observations, (iii) the shape of the deconvolved Einstein Ring from optical and infrared Hubb...
متن کاملQuintessence, the Gravitational Constant, and Gravity
Dynamical vacuum energy or quintessence, a slowly varying and spatially inhomogeneous component of the energy density with negative pressure, is currently consistent with the observational data. One potential difficulty with the idea of quintessence is that couplings to ordinary matter should be strongly suppressed so as not to lead to observable time variations of the constants of nature. We f...
متن کاملSimple pendulum determination of the gravitational constant.
We determined the Newtonian constant of gravitation G by interferometrically measuring the change in spacing between two free-hanging pendulum masses caused by the gravitational field from large tungsten source masses. We find a value for G of (6.672 34±0.000 14)×10(-11) m3 kg(-1) s(-2). This value is in good agreement with the 1986 Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) value...
متن کاملGravitational Gauge Fields and the Cosmological Constant
ADSTRACT We describe field theories for which the action is completely independent of the metric and connection of the space-time manifold. The metric in our approach is no more a fundamental field than a hadron field is a fundamental field in &CD. The fundamental fields in the action are O(5) gauge fields and combinations of these fields are interpreted as the metric and connection so that con...
متن کامل8 Measurement of the Gravitational Constant G
Measurement of the Gravitational Constant G 8 Measurement of the Gravitational Constant G F. Nolting, J. Schurr, E. Holzschuh, and W. K undig The most precise published results for the gravitational constant G have claimed uncertainties of about 100 ppm. Such measurements are usually done by some variant of the Cavendish torsion balance [1], but other methods have also been tried. During the l...
