We present the preferential filtering method for gravity anomaly separation based on Green equivalent-layer concept and Wiener filter. Compared to the conventional upward continuation and the preferential continuation, the preferential filtering method has the advantage of no requirement of continuation height. The method was tested both on the synthetic gravity data of a model of multiple rect...

in this paper the 3d inversion of gravity data using two different regularization methods, namely tikhonov regularization and truncated singular value decomposition (tsvd), is considered. the earth under the survey area is modeled using a large number of rectangular prisms, in which the size of the prisms are kept fixed during the inversion and the values of densities of the prisms are the mode...

A class of well-behaved modified gravity models with long enough matter domination epoch and a late-time accelerated expansion is confronted with SNIa, CMB, SDSS, BAO and H(z) galaxy ages data, as well as current measurements of the linear growth of structure. We show that the combination of geometrical probes and growth data exploited here allows to rule out f(R) gravity models, in particular,...

Introduction: Gravity data provide important constraints on morphometry of impact structures and on the crustal response to the impact process [1-3]. Such data can provide insight that may not be obtainable from surface geologic mapping and may not be quickly or cheaply obtained by other geophysical means. The gravity data can be used to constrain the dimensions of a completely to partly buried...

Introduction: The structure of the Chicxulub crater has been actively investigated by potential field modeling, seismic reflection and refraction surveys, and drilling during the decade since its recognition as the crater responsible for mass extinction which terminated the Cretaceous Period. Given the data sets that are now available to delineate crater structure a surprisingly diverse number ...

The gravity vector theory postulates that birds determine their position to set a home course by comparing the memorized gravity vector at the home loft with the local gravity vector at the release site, and that they should adjust their flight course to the gravity anomalies encountered. As gravity anomalies are often intermingled with geomagnetic anomalies, we released experienced pigeons fro...

the asymptotically ads solutions of the einstein gravity with hyperbolic horizons in the presence of so(n(n-1)/2- 1,1) yang-mills fields governed by the non-abelian born-infeld lagrangian are presented. we investigate the properties of these solutions as well as their asymptotic behavior in various dimensions. the properties of these kinds of solutions are like the einstein-yang-mills solutions...

Modelling the global gravitational field of the Earth in terms of spherical harmonic coefficients has been performed by a stand-alone inversion of a 4-month set of the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) Satellite Gravity Gradiometry (SGG) data and a 9-month set of the GOCE kinematic orbits, as well as by a combined inversion of the aforementioned data sets and 1-ye...

The satellite gravity mission GOCE measured the second-order derivatives of the Earth’s gravitational potential with high accuracy. The GOCE data enrich our gravity field knowledge especially at spatial resolutions from 750km down to 80km. In this paper we carry out regional gravity field analysis using radial localising basis functions that permit the combination of different data types tailor...
