Testing the Flyby Anomaly with the GNSS Constellation
O. Bertolami, F. Francisco, P. J. S. Gil +1
We propose the concept of a space mission to probe the so called flyby anomaly, an unexpected velocity change experienced by some deep-space probes using earth gravity assists. The…
Testing a non-minimal coupling between matter and curvature
J. Páramos
One of the most interesting and current phenomenological extensions of General Relativity is the so-called class of theories; a natural generalization of this includes an e…
Mimicking the cosmological constant: constant curvature spherical solutions in a non-minimally coupled model
J. Páramos, O. Bertolami
The purpose of this study is to describe a perfect fluid matter distribution that leads to a constant curvature region, thanks to the effect of a non-minimal coupling. This distrib…
OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt
Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46
The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…
Modelling the reflective thermal contribution to the acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft
F. Francisco, O. Bertolami, P. J. S. Gil +1
We present an improved method to compute the radiative momentum transfer in the Pioneer 10 & 11 spacecraft that takes into account both diffusive and specular reflection. The metho…
