General Relativity and Geodesy

Eva Hackmann, Moritz Huckfeldt, Claus Lämmerzahl +2

Mass redistribution on Earth due to dynamic processes such as ice melting and sea level rise leads to a changing gravitational field, observable by geodetic techniques. Monitoring…

Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect: Using GALILEO to explore General Relativity

Jan Scheumann, Dennis Philipp, Sven Herrmann +5

All experiments to date are in remarkable agreement with the predictions of Einstein's theory of gravity, General Relativity. Besides the classical tests, involving light deflectio…

Space test of the Equivalence Principle: first results of the MICROSCOPE mission

Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +31

The Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), stating that two bodies of different compositions and/or mass fall at the same rate in a gravitational field (universality of free fall), is a…
