Satellite probing General Relativity and its extensions and Kolmogorov analysis
Satellite probing General Relativity and its extensions and Kolmogorov analysis
We apply the Kolmogorov statistic to analyse the residual data of two LAGEOS satellites on General Relativistic Lense-Thirring effect, and show that it reveals a tiny difference in the properties of the satellites, possibly related to Yarkovsky-Rubincam effect. The recently launched LAser RElativity Satellite (LARES) can provide constraints to the …
