Universality of free fall versus ephemeris
arXiv:1705.05244
Abstract
When a light scalar field with gravitational strength interacts with matter, the weak equivalence principle is in general violated, leading for instance to a violation of the universality of free fall. This has been known and tested for a while. However, recent developments [Minazzoli & Hees, PRD 2016] showed that a novel manifestation of the universality of free fall can appear in some models. Here we discuss this new scenario and expose how we intend to constrain it with INPOP ephemeris.
