Time-Varying Lense-Thirring System
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider bound geodesic orbits of test masses in the exterior gravitational field of a rotating astronomical source whose proper angular momentum varies linearly with time. The linear perturbation approach of Lense and Thirring is herein extended to the nonstationary case. In particular, we investigate the instability of Lense-Thirring precessing orbits due to the slow temporal variation of the gravitomagnetic field of the source. PACS numbers: 04.20.Cv

The Lense-thirring Effect in the Jovian System of the Galilean Satellites and Its Measurability
In this paper we investigate the possibility of measuring the post-Newtonian general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect in the Jovian system of its Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto in view of recent developments in processing and modelling their optical observations spanning a large time interval (125 years). The present day best observations have an accurac...

In this paper we critically discuss the recent paper gr-qc/0412001 by Ciufolini about the impact of the secular variations J̇l of the even zonal harmonic coefficients of the Newtonian multipolar expansion of the terrestrial gravitational field on the performed tests aimed at the detection of the post-Newtonian gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with the...
متن کاملGravitomagnetic time delay and the Lense-Thirring effect in Brans-Dicke theory of gravity
We discuss the gravitomagnetic time delay and the Lense-Thirring effect in the context of Brans-Dicke theory of gravity. We compare the theoretical results obtained with those predicted by general relativity.We show that within the accurarcy of experiments designed to measure these effects both theories predict essentially the same result.
متن کاملEffect of the 2nd degree and order geopotential coefficient on the Lense-Thirring experiment and on the gravitomagnetic clock effect
The impact of the mismodelling in the Earth’s geopotential coefficient C22 on the detection of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring and gravitomagnetic clock effects is investigated. The systematic error induced on the Lense-Thirring LAGEOS experiment amounts to almost 1%. Regarding the gravitomagnetic clock effect, the systematic error induced on the satellite’s azimuthal location is 1-2 or...

We respond to a recent paper by Rindler on the " Anti–Machian " nature of the Lense–Thirring effect. We remark that his conclusion depends crucially on the particular formulation of Mach's principle used.
