The no-hair theorems at work in the tidal disruption event AT2020afhd
Lorenzo Iorio
Recently, the coprecession of both the accretion disk and the jet formed following the tidal disruption event associated with the optical transient AT2020afhd, driven by a supermas…
The measurable impact of the 2pN spin-dependent accelerations on the jet precession of M87
Lorenzo Iorio
Motivated by recent accurate measurements of disk/jet coprecessions around some galactic supermassive black holes, the accelerations experienced by an uncharged, spinless object in…
Has Kronos devoured Planet Nine and its epigones?
Lorenzo Iorio
The Planet Nine hypothesis encompasses a body of about 5-8 Earth's masses whose orbital plane would be inclined to the ecliptic by one or two tens of degrees and whose perihelion d…
Nethotrons: exploring the possibility of measuring relativistic spin precessions, from Earth's satellites to the Galactic Centre
Lorenzo Iorio
By ``nethotrons'', from the ancient Greek verb for to ``spin'', it is meant here a natural or artificial rotating object, like a pulsar or an artificial satellite, whose rotational…
Will LAGEOS and LARES 2 succeed in accurately measuring frame-dragging?
Lorenzo Iorio
The current LAGEOS-LARES 2 experiment aims to accurately measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitomagnetic field of the spinning Earth generated by the…
Using the Difference of the Inclinations of a Pair of Counter-Orbiting Satellites to Measure the Lense-Thirring Effect
Lorenzo Iorio
Let two test particles A and B revolving about a spinning primary along ideally identical orbits in opposite directions be considered. From the general expressions of the precessio…
