Explicit Fermi Coordinates and Tidal Dynamics in de Sitter and Goedel Spacetimes
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
Fermi coordinates are directly constructed in de Sitter and Goedel spacetimes and the corresponding exact coordinate transformations are given explicitly. The quasi-inertial Fermi…
Beyond Gravitoelectromagnetism: Critical Speed in Gravitational Motion
Bahram Mashhoon
A null ray approaching a distant astronomical source appears to slow down, while a massive particle speeds up in accordance with Newtonian gravitation. The integration of these app…
Inertia of Intrinsic Spin
Bahram Mashhoon, Helmut Kaiser
The state of a particle in space and time is characterized by its mass and spin, which therefore determine the inertial properties of the particle. The coupling of intrinsic spin w…
Quantum Theory in Accelerated Frames of Reference
Bahram Mashhoon
The observational basis of quantum theory in accelerated systems is studied. The extension of Lorentz invariance to accelerated systems via the hypothesis of locality is discussed…
A Mission to Explore the Pioneer Anomaly
The Pioneer Explorer Collaboration, H. Dittus, S. G. Turyshev +37
The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft yielded the most precise navigation in deep space to date. These spacecraft had exceptional acceleration sensitivity. However, analysis of their ra…
Relativistic Motion of Spinning Particles in a Gravitational Field
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon, B. Punsly
The relative motion of a classical relativistic spinning test particle is studied with respect to a nearby free test particle in the gravitational field of a rotating source. The e…
Nonlocal Electrodynamics of Rotating Systems
Bahram Mashhoon
The nonlocal electrodynamics of uniformly rotating systems is presented and its predictions are discussed. In this case, due to paucity of experimental data, the nonlocal theory ca…
A Gravitational Mechanism for the Acceleration of Ultrarelativistic Particles
C. Chicone, B. Mashhoon
Imagine a swarm of free particles near a point P outside a gravitating mass M and a free reference particle at P that is on a radial escape trajectory away from M. Relative to this…
