Commentary to "LARES successfully launched in orbit: Satellite and mission description" by A. Paolozzi and I. Ciufolini

Lorenzo Iorio

We comment on some statements in a recent paper by Paolozzi and Ciufolini concerning certain remarks raised by us on the realistic accuracy obtainable in testing the general relati…

A flyby anomaly for Juno? Not from standard physics

Lorenzo Iorio

An empirical formula recently appeared in the literature to explain the observed anomalies of about mm s in the geocentric range-rates of the Ga…

Orbital motions and the conservation-law/preferred-frame parameter

Lorenzo Iorio

We analytically calculate some orbital effects induced by the Lorentz-invariance/momentum-conservation PPN parameter in a gravitationally bound binary system made of a compac…

Preliminary bounds of the gravitational Local Position Invariance from Solar System planetary precessions

Lorenzo Iorio

In the framework of the Parameterized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism, we calculate the long-term Preferred Location (PL) effects, proportional to the Whitehead parameter , affec…

Novel considerations about the error budget of the LAGEOS-based tests of frame-dragging with GRACE geopotential models

Lorenzo Iorio, Matteo Luca Ruggiero, Christian Corda

A realistic assessment of the uncertainties in the even zonals of a given geopotential model must be made by directly comparing its coefficients with those of a wholly independent…

Modified theories of gravity with nonminimal coupling and orbital particle dynamics

Lorenzo Iorio

We consider a non-rotating, massive test particle acted upon by a "pressure"-type, non-geodesic acceleration arising from a certain general class of gravitational theories with non…

A Closer Earth and the Faint Young Sun Paradox: Modification of the Laws of Gravitation, or Sun/Earth Mass Losses?

Lorenzo Iorio

Given a solar luminosity L_Ar = 0.75 L_0 at the beginning of the Archean 3.8 Gyr ago, where L_0 is the present-day one, if the heliocentric distance r of the Earth was r_Ar = 0.956…

Exact expressions for the pericenter precession caused by some Dark Matter distributions and constraints on them from orbital motions in the Solar System, in the double pulsar and in the Galactic center

Lorenzo Iorio

We analytically calculate the secular precession of the pericenter of a test particle orbiting a central body surrounded by a continuous distribution of Dark Matter (DM) by using s…

Perspectives on effectively constraining the location of a massive trans-Plutonian object with the New Horizons spacecraft: a sensitivity analysis

Lorenzo Iorio

The radio tracking apparatus of the New Horizons spacecraft, currently traveling to the Pluto system where its arrival is scheduled for July 2015, should be able to reach an accura…
