Pushing limits: Probing new gravity using a satellite constellation
Viktor T. Toth
Building upon earlier work, we explore the limits of using a configuration of satellites to measure the trace of the gravitational gradient tensor using intersatellite laser rangin…
Metric symmetry by design in general relativity
Viktor T. Toth
The usual derivation of Einstein's field equations from the Einstein--Hilbert action is performed by silently assuming the metric tensor's symmetric character. If this symmetry is…
Spherical harmonics representation of the gravitational phase shift
Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth
We investigate the general relativistic phase of an electromagnetic wave as it propagates in the gravitational field of the Earth, which is modeled as an isolated, weakly aspherica…
Navigating stellar wobbles for imaging with the solar gravitational lens
Slava G. Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth
The solar gravitational lens (SGL) offers unique capabilities for high-resolution imaging of faint, distant objects, such as exoplanets. In the near future, a spacecraft carrying a…
Efficient trace-free decomposition of symmetric tensors of arbitrary rank
Viktor T. Toth, Slava G. Turyshev
Symmetric trace-free tensors are used in many areas of physics, including electromagnetism, relativistic celestial mechanics and geodesy, as well as in the study of gravitational r…
Gravitoelectromagnetism and stellar orbits in galaxies
Viktor T. Toth
Beyond the Newtonian approximation, gravitational fields in general relativity can be described using a formalism known as gravitoelectromagnetism. In this formalism a vector poten…
