    Solar System Tests of the Equivalence Principle and Constraints on Higher-Dimensional Gravity

    Solar system tests of the equivalence principle and constraints on higher-dimensional gravity J. M. Overduin Department of Physics, University of Waterloo, ON, Canada N2L 3G1 and Gravity Probe B, Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory, Stanford University, California (July 21, 2000) the theory, ξ and αk refer to possible preferred-location In most studies of equivalence principle violation by solar and preferred-frame effects, and the ζk allow for possible system bodies, it is assumed that the ratio of gravitational to violations of momentum conservation (see [1] for discus- inertial mass for a given body deviates from unity by a param- sion). One has η = 0 in standard general relativity, where eter ∆ which is proportional to its gravitational self-energy. γ = β = 1. In 4D scalar-tensor theories, by contrast, Here we inquire what experimental constraints can be set on γ =(1+ω)/(2 + ω)andβ =1+ω /[2(2 + ω)(3 + 2ω)2], ∆ for various solar system objects when this assumption is re- 0 laxed. Extending an analysis originally due to Nordtvedt, we where ω = ω(φ) is the generalized Brans-Dicke parame- obtain upper limits on linearly independent combinations of ter and ω0 = dω/dφ. ∆ for two or more bodies from Kepler’s third law, the position The relative gravitational self-energy U can be cal- of Lagrange libration points, and the phenomenon of orbital culated for most objects in the solar system, subject polarization. Combining our results, we extract numerical to uncertainties in their mass density profiles. Thus, 5 upper bounds on ∆ for the Sun, Moon, Earth and Jupiter, for example, US 10− for the Sun, while Jupiter 8 ∼− using observational data on their orbits as well as those of the has UJ 10− [3].

Di Martino’ ’ Astronomical Observatory of Kharkov State University, Sumskaya str. 35, Kharkov 310022, Ukraine ‘Osservatorio Astronomic0 di Torino, I-10025 Pino Torinese (TO), Italy Received 5 February 1997; accepted 20 June 1997 rather small objects, usually of the order of a few kilo- metres or less. MBAs of such sizes are generally not access- ible to ground-based observations. Therefore, when NEAs approach the Earth (at distances which can be as small as 0.01-0.02 AU and sometimes less) they give a unique chance to study objects of such small sizes. Some of them possibly represent primordial matter, which has preserved a record of the earliest stages of the Solar System evolution, while the majority are fragments coming from catastrophic collisions that occurred in the asteroid main- belt and could provide “a look” at the interior of their much larger parent bodies. Therefore, NEAs are objects of special interest for sev- eral reasons. First, from the point of view of fundamental science, the problems raised by their origin in planet- crossing orbits, their life-time, their possible genetic relations with comets and meteorites, etc. are closely connected with the solution of the major problem of “We are now on the threshold of a new era of asteroid planetary science of the origin and evolution of the Solar studies” System.

For the 45 dynamical families with >250 members identified in this Revised 27 April 2015 classification, we present an attempt to obtain statistically significant ages: we succeeded in computing Accepted 30 April 2015 ages for 37 collisional families. Available online 14 May 2015 We used a rigorous method, including a least squares fit of the two sides of a V-shape plot in the proper semimajor axis, inverse diameter plane to determine the corresponding slopes, an advanced error model Keywords: for the uncertainties of asteroid diameters, an iterative outlier rejection scheme and quality control. The Asteroids best available Yarkovsky measurement was used to estimate a calibration of the Yarkovsky effect for each Asteroids, dynamics Impact processes family. The results are presented separately for the families originated in fragmentation or cratering events, for the young, compact families and for the truncated, one-sided families. For all the computed ages the corresponding uncertainties are provided, and the results are discussed and compared with the literature. The ages of several families have been estimated for the first time, in other cases the accu- racy has been improved.

The near- 454 MATHESIS, 477 ITALIA, AND 2264 SABRINA perfect overlay of V- and R-band data show no evidence of color change as the asteroid rotates. This result replicates the lightcurve Robert K. Buchheim period reported by Harris et al. (1984), and matches the period and Altimira Observatory lightcurve shape reported by Behrend (2005) at his website. 18 Altimira, Coto de Caza, CA 92679 USA [email protected] (Received: 4 November Revised: 21 November) Photometric studies of asteroids 133 Cyrene, 454 Mathesis, 477 Italia and 2264 Sabrina are reported. The lightcurve period for Cyrene of 12.707±0.015 h (with amplitude 0.22 mag) confirms prior studies. The lightcurve period of 8.37784±0.00003 h (amplitude 0.32 mag) for Mathesis differs from previous studies. For Italia, color indices (B-V)=0.87±0.07, (V-R)=0.48±0.05, and phase curve parameters H=10.4, G=0.15 have been determined. For Sabrina, this study provides the first reported lightcurve period 43.41±0.02 h, with 0.30 mag amplitude. Altimira Observatory, located in southern California, is equipped with a 0.28-m Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (Celestron NexStar- 454 Mathesis. DiMartino et al. (1994) reported a rotation period of 11 operating at F/6.3), and CCD imager (ST-8XE NABG, with 7.075 h with amplitude 0.28 mag for this asteroid, based on two Johnson-Cousins filters).

Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris, France2 Abstract. In this note we compare the frequencies of the motion of the Trojan asteroids in the Restricted Three-Body Problem (RTBP), the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem (ERTBP) and the Outer Solar System (OSS) model. The RTBP and ERTBP are well-known academic models for the motion of these asteroids, and the OSS is the standard model used for realistic simulations. Our results are based on a systematic frequency analysis of the motion of these asteroids. The main conclusion is that both the RTBP and ERTBP are not very accurate models for the long-term dynamics, although the level of accuracy strongly depends on the selected asteroid. 1. Introduction. The Restricted Three-Body Problem models the motion of a particle under the gravitational attraction of two point masses following a (Keple- rian) solution of the two-body problem (a general reference is [17]). The goal of this note is to discuss the degree of accuracy of such a model to study the real motion of an asteroid moving near the Lagrangian points of the Sun-Jupiter system. To this end, we have considered two restricted three-body problems, namely: i) the Circular RTBP, in which Sun and Jupiter describe a circular orbit around their centre of mass, and ii) the Elliptic RTBP, in which Sun and Jupiter move on an elliptic orbit.

These datasets were compiled from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) Small-Body Database (SBDB) and NASA’s Planetary Data Service (PDS). These datasets provide insights into the characteristics, classifications, and abundance of small-bodies in the solar system, as well as their relationships to more prominent bodies. OpenSpace: Datasets for Asteroids and Comets 2 Part 1: Visualization Settings To load the Asteroids scene in OpenSpace, load the OpenSpace Launcher and select “asteroids” from the drop-down menu for “Scene.” Then launch OpenSpace normally. The Asteroids package is a big dataset, so it can take a few hours to load the first time even on very powerful machines and good internet connections. After a couple of times opening the program with this scene, it should take less time. If you are having trouble loading the scene, check the OpenSpace Wiki or the OpenSpace Support Slack for information and assistance.
