On the speed of gravity and the v/c corrections to the Shapiro time delay.
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a relatively simple method, I compute the v/c correction to the gravitational time delay for light passing by a massive object moving with speed v. It turns out that the v/c effects are too small to have been measured in the recent experiment involving Jupiter and quasar J0842+1845 that was used to measure the speed of gravity.

On the Speed of Gravity and Relativistic v/c Corrections to the Shapiro Time Delay
Recent papers by Samuel [1,2] declared that the linearized post-Newtonian v/c effects are too small to have been measured in the recent experiment involving Jupiter and quasar J0842+1845 [3,4,5] that was used to measure the ultimate speed of gravity defined as a fundamental constant entering in front of each time derivative of the metric tensor in the Einstein gravity field equations. We descri...
متن کاملThe phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity
In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
متن کاملModel-Dependence of Shapiro Time Delay and the “Speed of Gravity/Speed of Light” Controversy
Fomalont and Kopeikin have recently succeeded in measuring the velocity-dependent component of the Shapiro time delay of light from a quasar passing behind Jupiter. While there is general agreement that this observation tests the Lorentz transformation properties of the gravitational field, a controversy has emerged over the question of whether the results depend on the speed of light, c, or th...
متن کاملSpeed of gravity and gravitomagnetism
A v J /c correction to the Shapiro time delay seems verified by a 2002 Jovian observation by VLBI. In this Essay, this correction is interpreted as an effect of the aberration of light in an optically refractive medium which supplies an analog of Jupiter's gravity field rather than as a measurement of the speed of gravity, as it was first proposed by other authors. The variation of the index of...
متن کاملPropagation Speed of Gravity and the Relativistic Time Delay
We calculate the delay in the propagation of a light signal past a massive body that moves with speed v, under the assumption that the speed of propagation of the gravitational interaction c g differs from that of light. Using the post-Newtonian approximation, we consider an expansion in powers of v/c beyond the leading " Shapiro " time delay effect, while working to first order only in Gm/c 2 ...
