Detected tiny differences in satellite properties possibly linked to Yarkovsky-Rubincam effect.
Showed that LARES data can constrain parameters of Chern-Simons gravity.
Demonstrated the utility of Kolmogorov statistics in gravitational physics analysis.
Abstract
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 extensions of General Relativity such as the Chern-Simons (CS) gravity with metric coupled to a scalar field through the Pontryagin density, so an explicit dependence on the frame dragging measurements vs the CS parameter is given.
