Perihelion precession and deflection of light in gravitational field of wormholes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quite exotic relativistic objects known as wormholes are hypothetical candidates for central machine of active galactic nuclei as well as black holes. We find the magnitude of the perihelion precession and the deflection of light in gravitational field of a wormhole and compare them with those for a black hole. The impact parameter is taken to be much larger than the wormhole throat size. We show that the relative difference between results for a black hole and a wormhole may be significant and amount to tens of percent.

Solar system effects in Schwarzschild–de Sitter spacetime
The Schwarzschild–de Sitter space–time describes the gravitational field of a spherically symmetric mass in a universe with cosmological constant Λ. Based on this space–time we calculate Solar system effects like gravitational redshift, light deflection, gravitational time delay, Perihelion shift, geodetic or de Sitter precession, as well as the influence of Λ on a Doppler measurement, used to ...
متن کاملGravitational Thomas Precession and the Perihelion Advance of Mercury
Gravitational Thomas Precession ( GTP ) is the name given to Thomas Precession when the acceleration is caused by a gravitational force field. The GTP gives a negative contribution of 7 · 163 arcsec/century for the anomalous perihelion advance of Mercury’s orbit.This effect seems to be of some concern for the General Relativity. PACS: 04.80Cc ; 96.30Dz
متن کاملSolar System tests of Hořava–Lifshitz gravity
In the present paper, we consider the possibility of observationally constraining Hořava gravity at the scale of the Solar System, by considering the classical tests of general relativity (perihelion precession of the planet Mercury, deflection of light by the Sun and the radar echo delay) for the spherically symmetric black hole Kehagias– Sfetsos solution of Hořava–Lifshitz gravity. All these ...
متن کاملProblems in Field Theoretical Approach to Gravitation
We consider gravitational self interaction in the lowest approximation and assume that graviton interacts with gravitational energy-momentum tensor in the same way as it interacts with particles. We show that, using gravitational vertex with a preferred gravitational energy-momentum tensor, it is possible to obtain a metric necessary for explaining perihelion precession. The preferred gravitati...
متن کاملSolar System Tests of Higher-Dimensional Gravity
The classical tests of general relativity — light deflection, time delay and perihelion shift — are applied, along with the geodetic precession test, to the five-dimensional extension of the theory known as Kaluza-Klein gravity, using an analogue of the four-dimensional Schwarzschild metric. The perihelion advance and geodetic precession calculations are generalized for the first time to situat...
