Gravitational wave burst search in the Virgo C7 data
The Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese
A search for gravitational wave burst events has been performed with the Virgo C7 commissioning run data that have been acquired in September 2005 over five days. It focused on un-…
On the recently determined anomalous perihelion precession of Saturn
Lorenzo Iorio
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 Cassi…
Juno, the angular momentum of Jupiter and the Lense-Thirring effect
Lorenzo Iorio
The recently approved Juno mission will orbit Jupiter for one year in a highly eccentric (r_min=1.06R_Jup, r_max=39R_Jup) polar orbit (i=90 deg) to accurately map, among other thin…
A longitudinal component in massive gravitational waves arising from a bimetric theory of gravity
Christian Corda
After a brief review of the work of de Paula, Miranda and Marinho on massive gravitational waves arising from a bimetric theory of gravity, in this paper it is shown that the prese…
The effect of general relativity on hyperbolic orbits and its application to the flyby anomaly
Lorenzo Iorio
We investigate qualitatively and quantitatively the impact of the general relativistic gravito-electromagnetic forces on hyperbolic orbits around a massive spinning body. The gravi…
Gravitomagnetic effects in Kerr-de Sitter space-time
Lorenzo Iorio, Matteo Luca Ruggiero
We explicitly worked out the orbital effects induced on the trajectory of a test particle by the the weak-field approximation of the Kerr-de Sitter metric. It results that the node…
Quark matter in compact stars: astrophysical implications and possible signatures
I. Bombaci
After a brief non technical introduction of the basic properties of strange quark matter (SQM) in compact stars, we consider some of the late important advances in the field, and d…
Will it be possible to measure intrinsic gravitomagnetism with Lunar Laser Ranging?
Lorenzo Iorio
In this note we mainly explore the possibility of measuring the action of the intrinsic gravitomagnetic field of the rotating Earth on the orbital motion of the Moon with the Lunar…
Putting Yukawa-like Modified Gravity (MOG) on the test in the Solar System
Lorenzo Iorio
We deal with a Yukawa-like long-range modified model of gravity (MOG) which recently allowed to successfully accommodate many astrophysical and cosmological features without resort…
An Assessment of the Systematic Uncertainty in Present and Future Tests of the Lense-Thirring Effect with Satellite Laser Ranging
Lorenzo Iorio
We deal with the attempts to measure the Lense-Thirring effect with the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) technique applied to the existing LAGEOS and LAGEOS II terrestrial satellites…
The impact of the oblateness of Regulus on the motion of its companion
Lorenzo Iorio
The fast spinning B-star Regulus has recently been found to be orbited by a fainter companion in a close circular path with orbital period P_b = 40.11(2) d. Being its equatorial ra…
Constraining the cosmological constant and the DGP gravity with the double pulsar PSR J0737-3039
Lorenzo Iorio
We consider the double pulsar binary system as a laboratory to locally test the orbital effects induced by an uniform cosmological constant in the framework of the known genera…
Advances in the measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect with planetary motions in the field of the Sun
Lorenzo Iorio
E.V. Pitjeva, by processing more than 400,000 planetary observations of various types with the dynamical models of the EPM2006 ephemerides, recently estimated a correction to the c…
A solution of linearized Einstein field equations in vacuum used for the detection of the stochastic background of gravitational waves
Christian Corda
A solution of linearized Einstein field equations in vacuum is given and discussed. First it is shown that, computing from our particular metric the linearized connections, the lin…
Classical and relativistic orbital motions around a mass-varying body
Lorenzo Iorio
I calculate the classical effects induced by an isotropic mass loss of a body on the orbital motion of a test particle around it; the present analysis is also valid for a variation…
Can the Pioneer anomaly be induced by velocity-dependent forces? Tests in the outer regions of solar system with planetary dynamics
Lorenzo Iorio
In this paper we analyze the impact on the orbital motions of the outer planets of the solar system from Jupiter to Pluto of some velocity-dependent forces recently proposed to phe…
Gravitons scattering from classical matter
E. Guadagnini
The low energy scattering of gravitons from a composite extended system, which is made of classical massive bodies, is considered; by using the Feynman rules of effective quantum g…

The Virgo collaboration
In the framework of the expected association between gamma-ray bursts and gravitational waves, we present results of an analysis aimed to search for a burst of gravitational waves…
