Williams et al. Reply (to the Comment by Dumin on "Progress in Lunar Laser Ranging Tests of Relativistic Gravity")

James G. Williams, Slava G. Turyshev, Dale H. Boggs

A decreasing gravitational constant, G, coupled with angular momentum conservation is expected to increrase a planetary semimajor axis, a, as \dot a/a=-\dot G/G. Analysis of lunar…

Using LISA EMRI sources to test off-Kerr deviations in the geometry of massive black holes

Leor Barack, Curt Cutler

Inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into black holes are especially interesting sources of gravitational waves for LISA. We investigate whether the emit…

Towards absorbing outer boundaries in General Relativity

Luisa T. Buchman, Olivier C. A. Sarbach

We construct exact solutions to the Bianchi equations on a flat spacetime background. When the constraints are satisfied, these solutions represent in- and outgoing linearized grav…

General Theory of Relativity: Will it survive the next decade?

Orfeu Bertolami, Jorge Paramos, Slava G. Turyshev

The nature of gravity is fundamental to our understanding of our own solar system, the galaxy and the structure and evolution of the Universe. Einstein's general theory of relativi…
