Short-range tests of the equivalence principle
G. L. Smith, C. D. Hoyle, J. H. Gundlach +3
We tested the equivalence principle at short length scales by rotating a 3-ton U attractor around a compact torsion balance containing Cu and Pb test bodies. The observed d…
Fifteen years of millimeter accuracy lunar laser ranging with APOLLO: dataset characterization
James B. R. Battat, Eric Adelberger, Nicholas R. Colmenares +7
We present data from the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) covering the 15-year span from April 2006 through the end of 2020. APOLLO measures the eart…
An absolute calibration system for millimeter-accuracy APOLLO measurements
E. G. Adelberger, J. B. R. Battat, K. J. Birkmeier +10
Lunar laser ranging provides a number of leading experimental tests of gravitation -- important in our quest to unify General Relativity and the Standard Model of physics. The Apac…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
Laser Ranging to the Lost Lunokhod~1 Reflector
T. W. Murphy, E. G. Adelberger, J. B. R. Battat +6
In 1970, the Soviet Lunokhod 1 rover delivered a French-built laser reflector to the Moon. Although a few range measurements were made within three months of its landing, these mea…
Long-term degradation of optical devices on the moon
T. W. Murphy, E. G. Adelberger, J. B. R. Battat +6
Forty years ago, Apollo astronauts placed the first of several retroreflector arrays on the lunar surface. Their continued usefulness for laser-ranging might suggest that the lunar…
