Pioneer anomaly and the helicity-rotation coupling
The modification of the Doppler effect due to the coupling of the helicity of the radiation with the rotation of the source/receiver is considered in the case of the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft. We explain why the Pioneer anomaly is not influenced by the helicity-rotation coupling. PACS: 03.30.+p ; 04.20.Cv
متن کاملHelicity-Rotation-Gravity Coupling for Gravitational Waves
The consequences of spin-rotation-gravity coupling are worked out for linear gravitational waves. The coupling of helicity of the wave with the rotation of a gravitational-wave antenna is investigated and the resulting modifications in the Doppler effect and aberration are pointed out for incident high-frequency gravitational radiation. Extending these results to the case of a gravitomagnetic f...
متن کاملThe Pioneer Anomaly
Radio-metric Doppler tracking data received from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft from heliocentric distances of 20-70 AU has consistently indicated the presence of a small, anomalous, blue-shifted frequency drift uniformly changing with a rate of ∼ 6 × 10-9 Hz/s. Ultimately, the drift was interpreted as a constant sunward deceleration of each particular spacecraft at the level of aP = (8.74 ± ...
متن کاملParametric invariance and the Pioneer anomaly
It is usually assumed that the t parameter in the equations of dynamics can be identified with the indication of the pointer of a clock. Things are not so simple, however. In fact, since the equations of motion can be written in terms of t but also of t′ = f(t), f being any well behaved function, any one of those infinite parametric times t′ is as good as the Newtonian one to study classical dy...
متن کاملThe Pioneer Anomaly and Its Implications
The Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft yielded the most precise navigation in deep space to date. However, their radio-metric tracking data has consistently indicated the presence of a small, anomalous, Doppler frequency drift. The drift is a blue-shift, uniformly changing with a rate of ∼ 6× 10 Hz/s and can be interpreted as a constant sunward acceleration of each particular spacecraft of aP = (8.74±1.3...
