Numerical coincidence observed between Pioneer anomaly and Lorentz factor

Match extends from 10 to 20 AU distances

Potential basis for future theoretical hypotheses

Abstract

One noticed a numerical coincidence between the Pioneer spacecrafts deceleration anomaly and $(\gamma-1)$, with $\gamma$ the Lorentz factor. The match is not only for distances larger than 20 AU, but even for the observed slop between 10 and 20 AU. Such numerical link may eventually lead to a scientific hypothesis for future theoretical investigations.
