New uses for the Lunar Reflectors
Some time ago, MS wanted to know where the science papers from the Apollo Program to the Moon were. A quick search of the excellent site MS recommended found these recent papers, all of which are a result of the Apollo missions to the Moon. This is only one single site, and the archives don't go back very far, so I'm sure there are more sites, and obviously, the papers here refer to previous papers going back to about 1972: Just a quick sample. A New Application of the Lunar Laser Retroreflectors: Searching for the "Local" Hubble Expansion http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/astro-ph/0302008 Gravitational Acceleration of Spinning Bodies From Lunar Laser Ranging Measurements http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/gr-qc/0212043 The Accelerated Universe and the Moon http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-ph/0212069 Testing for gravitationally preferred directions using the lunar orbit http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/gr-qc/9606076 35 Years of Testing Relativistic Gravity: Where do we go from here? http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/gr-qc/0311039 And that one is an awesome abstract, but I need to get a follow up done before I see what they found out. Once again MS, thanks for the link you provided. I've downloaded a all of the above ones, and I'll spend the next day or so reading them. In particular, both the Accelerated Universe and the Moon, and the "Searching for the "Local" Hubble expansion" are promising. If you are prepared to read them too, we can discuss the consequences of them. Ain't modern astronomy wonderful? You can learn so much. |
