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, phenomenologically estimated a statistically significant nonzero correction to the usual Newtonian/Einsteinian secular precession of the longitude of the perihelion of Saturn, i.e., ; the formal, statistical error is 0.″0007. It can be explained neither by any of the standard classical and general…

### Constraints on Non-Standard Gravitomagnetism by the Anomalous Perihelion Precession of the Planets

In 2008, a team of astronomers reported an anomalous retrograde precession of the perihelion of Saturn amounting to _ !SATURN = 0:006(2) arcsec per century (arcsec cy 1 ). This unexplained precession

In this paper, we investigate the anomalous planets precession in the nearly-newtonian gravitational regime. This limit is obtained from the application of the slow motion condition to the geodesic

If the Pioneer anomaly (PA) was a genuine dynamical effect of gravitational origin, it should also affect the orbital motions of the Solar system's bodies moving in the space regions in which the PA

In this paper, we examine a static gravitational field with axial symmetry over probe particles in the solar system. Using the Weyl conformastatic solution as a model, we find a non-standard
