Recent VLBA/VERA/IVS Tests of General Relativity

E. Fomalont, S. Kopeikin, D. Jones +2

We report on recent VLBA/VERA/IVS observational tests of General Relativity. First, we will summarize the results from the 2005 VLBA experiment that determined gamma with an accura…

Earth Flyby Anomalies

Michael Martin Nieto, John D. Anderson

In a reference frame fixed to the solar system's center of mass, a satellite's energy will change as it is deflected by a planet. But a number of satellites flying by Earth have al…

An overview of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

Daniel A. Shaddock

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna will detect gravitational waves with frequencies from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz. This article provides a brief overview of LISA's science goals followe…

Cover art: issues in the metric-guided and metric-less placement of random and stochastic template banks

Gian Mario Manca, Michele Vallisneri

The efficient placement of signal templates in source-parameter space is a crucial requisite for exhaustive matched-filtering searches of modeled gravitational-wave sources. Unfort…

Astrometric Solar-System Anomalies

John D. Anderson, Michael Martin Nieto

There are at least four unexplained anomalies connected with astrometric data. Perhaps the most disturbing is the fact that when a spacecraft on a flyby trajectory approaches the E…

The performance of arm locking in LISA

Kirk McKenzie, Robert E. Spero, Daniel A. Shaddock

For the laser interferometer space antenna (LISA) to reach it's design sensitivity, the coupling of the free running laser frequency noise to the signal readout must be reduced by…

X-Pipeline: An analysis package for autonomous gravitational-wave burst searches

Patrick J. Sutton, Gareth Jones, Shourov Chatterji +8

Autonomous gravitational-wave searches -- fully automated analyses of data that run without human intervention or assistance -- are desirable for a number of reasons. They are nece…

The Hilbert Lagrangian and Isometric Embedding: Tetrad Formulation of Regge-Teitelboim Gravity

Frank B. Estabrook

We discuss Exterior Differential Systems (EDS) for the vacuum gravitational field. These EDS are derived by varying the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, given most elegantly as a Carta…

Testing Relativistic Gravity from Space

Slava G. Turyshev

Recent experiments have successfully tested Einstein's general theory of relativity to remarkable precision. We discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity in the…

The Puzzle of the Flyby Anomaly

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth

Close planetary flybys are frequently employed as a technique to place spacecraft on extreme solar system trajectories that would otherwise require much larger booster vehicles or…

The Pioneer Anomaly in the Light of New Data

Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth

The radio-metric tracking data received from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft from the distances between 20-70 astronomical units from the Sun has consistently indicated the presen…
