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…
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…
The Lense-Thirring effect at work in M87
Lorenzo Iorio
Recently, the temporal evolution of the angles characterizing the spatial configuration of the jet in the supermassive black hole M87 was measured exhibiting a precessional…
Measuring a gravitomagentic effect with the triple pulsar PSR J0337+1715
Lorenzo Iorio
To the first post--Newtonian order, the orbital angular momentum of the fast--revolving inner binary of the triple system PSR J0337+1715, made of a millisecond pulsar and a white d…
When the anomalistic, draconitic and sidereal orbital periods do not coincide: the impact of post-Keplerian perturbing accelerations
Lorenzo Iorio
In a purely Keplerian picture, the anomalistic, draconitic and sidereal orbital periods of a test particle orbiting a massive body coincide with each other. Such a degeneracy is re…
Limitations in Testing the Lense-Thirring Effect with LAGEOS and the Newly Launched Geodetic Satellite LARES 2
Lorenzo Iorio
The new geodetic satellite LARES 2, cousin of LAGEOS and sharing with it almost the same orbital parameters apart from the inclination, displaced by 180 deg, was launched last year…
Revisiting the gravitomagnetic clock effect
Lorenzo Iorio
To the first post-Newtonian order, if two test particles revolve in opposite directions about a massive, spinning body along two circular and equatorial orbits with the same radius…
Observational constraints on spatial anisotropy of G from orbital motions
Lorenzo Iorio
A phenomenological anisotropic variation ΔG/G of the Newtonian gravitational coupling parameter G, if real, would affect the orbital dynamics of a two-body gravitationally bound sy…
