### An alternative derivation of the Lense-Thirring drag on the orbit of a test body

A new strategy in deriving the Lense-Thirring effect, in the weak field and slow motion approximation of general relativity, on the orbital elements of a test body in the field of different central

### Time-varying gravitational multipole moments corresponding to nonradial solar oscillations

• Physics
• 1980
Hill (1978) and Severny, Kotov and Tsap (1976) and others have reported oscillations in the apparent radius of the sun of amplitude δR⊙ which have been interpreted as arising from mechanical

### Relativistic effects in the motion of artificial satellites: The oblateness of the central body I

• Physics
• 1987
The motion of artificial satellites in the gravitational field of an oblate body is discussed in the parametrized-post-Newtonian (PPN) framework with parameters β and γ. Analytical expressions for

### Gravity Field, Shape, and Moment of Inertia of Titan

• Geology, Physics
Science
• 2010
Gravity data from four flybys of the Cassini spacecraft past Saturn's moon, Titan, is used to model the moon's gravity field and probe its deep interior structure, implying that Titan is a partially differentiated body with a core consisting of a mix of ice and rock or hydrated silicates.
