Advances in the measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect with Satellite Laser Ranging in the gravitational field of the Earth
arXiv:0808.0658
Abstract
In this Chapter we deal with the attempts to measure the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect with the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) technique applied to the existing LAGEOS and LAGEOS II terrestrial satellites and to the recently approved LARES.
