On the recently determined anomalous perihelion precession of Saturn
The astronomer E.V. Pitjeva, by analyzing with the EPM2008 ephemerides a large number of planetary observations including also two years (2004-2006) of normal points from the Cassini spacecraft, phenomenologically estimated a statistically significant non-zero correction to the usual Newtonian/Einsteinian secular precession of the longitude of the perihelion of Saturn, i.e. ∆ ̟̇ Sat = −0.006 ± 0...
متن کاملThe Perihelion Precession of Saturn, Planet X/Nemesis and MOND
We show that the anomalous retrograde perihelion precession of Saturn !& " , recently estimated by different teams of astronomers by processing ranging data from the Cassini spacecraft and amounting to some milliarcseconds per century, can be explained in terms of a localized, distant body X, not yet directly discovered in the remote periphery of the solar system. From the determination of its ...
متن کاملOn the Origin of the Anomalous Precession of Mercury’s Perihelion
Action at distance in Newtonian physics is replaced by finite propagation speeds in classical post–Newtonian physics. As a result, the differential equations of motion in Newtonian physics are replaced by functional differential equations, where the delay associated with the finite propagation speed is taken into account. Newtonian equations of motion, with post–Newtonian corrections, are often...
متن کاملConstraints on Non-Standard Gravitomagnetism by the Anomalous Perihelion Precession of the Planets
In 2008, a team of astronomers reported an anomalous retrograde precession of the perihelion of Saturn amounting to ∆ω̇SATURN = −0.006(2) arcsec per century (arcsec cy−1). This unexplained precession was obtained after taking into account all classical and relativistic effects in the context of the highly refined EPM2008 ephemerides. More recent analyzes have not confirmed this effect, but they ...
متن کاملPerihelion precession for modified Newtonian gravity
We calculate the perihelion precession δ for nearly circular orbits in a central potential V (r). Differently from other approaches to this problem, we do not assume that the potential is close to the Newtonian one. The main idea in the deduction is to apply the underlying symmetries of the system to show that δ must be a function of r · V (r)/V (r), and to use the transformation behaviour of δ...
