abstract

We present a test of General Relativity, the measurement of the Earth's dragging of inertial frames. Our result is obtained using about 3.5 years of laser-ranged observations of the LARES, LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2 laser-ranged satellites together with the Earth's gravity field model GGM05S produced by the space geodesy mission GRACE. We measure $\mu = (0.994 \pm 0.002) \pm 0.05$, where $\mu$ is the Earth's dragging of inertial frames normalized to its General Relativity value, 0.002 is the 1-sigma formal error and 0.05 is the estimated systematic error mainly due to the uncertainties in the Earth's gravity model GGM05S. Our result is in agreement with the prediction of General Relativity.

  1. Discovering $\mu$Hz gravitational waves and ultra-light dark matter with binary resonances

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A time-resolved treatment of binary orbital perturbations yields projected microhertz gravitational-wave and ultra-light dark-matter sensitivities orders of magnitude better than secular-averaged calculations.

  2. Tidal Forces in the Presence of Torsion and Nonmetricity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tidal acceleration of autoparallels in metric-affine gravity separates into Newtonian gravity plus linear post-Riemannian corrections from torsion and nonmetricity that can be decomposed into irreducible Lorentz components.
