- Physics, Geology
- 21 December 2014
Mindful of the anomalous perihelion precession of Mercury discovered by Le Verrier in the second half of the nineteenth century and its successful explanation by Einstein with his General Theory of…
AN EMPIRICAL EXPLANATION OF THE ANOMALOUS INCREASES IN THE ASTRONOMICAL UNIT AND THE LUNAR ECCENTRICITY
- L. Iorio
- Physics
- 22 February 2011
The subject of this paper is the empirically determined anomalous secular increases of the astronomical unit, of the order of some cm yr−1, and of the eccentricity of the lunar orbit, of the order of…
Constraints on the range lambda of Yukawa-like modifications to the Newtonian inverse-square law of gravitation from Solar System planetary motions
- L. Iorio
- Physics, Geology
- 8 August 2007
In this paper we use the latest corrections to the Newton-Einstein secular perihelion rates of some planets of the Solar System, phenomenologically estimated with the EPM2004 ephemerides by the…
Solar system planetary orbital motions and dark matter
- L. Iorio
- Physics, Geology
- 23 February 2006
In this paper we explicitly work out the effects that a spherically symmetric distribution of dark matter with constant density would induce on the Keplerian orbital elements of the Solar System…
Classical and relativistic node precessional effects in WASP-33b and perspectives for detecting them
- L. Iorio
- Physics, Geology
- 14 June 2010
WASP-33 is a fast rotating, main sequence star which hosts a hot Jupiter moving along a retrograde and almost polar orbit with semi-major axis a=0.02 au and eccentricity provisionally set to e=0. The…
THE RECENTLY DETERMINED ANOMALOUS PERIHELION PRECESSION OF SATURN
- L. Iorio
- Physics, Geology
- 5 November 2008
The astronomer E. V. Pitjeva, by analyzing with the EPM2008 ephemerides a large number of planetary observations including also two years (2004–2006) of normal points from the Cassini spacecraft,…
Constraints from orbital motions around the Earth of the environmental fifth-force hypothesis for the OPERA superluminal neutrino phenomenology
- L. Iorio
- Physics
- 28 September 2011
A bstractIt has been recently suggested by Dvali and Vikman that the superluminal neutrino phenomenology of the OPERA experiment may be due to an environmental feature of the Earth, naturally…
On the possibility of measuring the solar oblateness and some relativistic effects from planetary ranging
- L. Iorio
- Physics, Geology
- 10 June 2004
In this paper we first calculate the post-Newtonian gravitoelectric secular rate of the mean anomaly of a test particle freely orbiting a spherically symmetric central mass. Then, we propose a novel…
What do the orbital motions of the outer planets of the Solar System tell us about the Pioneer anomaly

Planet X revamped after the discovery of the Sedna-like object 2012 VP113?
- L. Iorio
- Physics, Geology
- 31 March 2014
The recent discovery of the Sedna-like dwarf planet 2012 VP$_{\rm 113}$ by Trujillo and Sheppard has revamped the old-fashioned hypothesis that a still unseen trans-Plutonian object of planetary…
