Pioneer10 and 11 slow down
"George Dishman" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... "lombo243" [email protected] wrote in message ... "George Dishman" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... The main paper on this is: http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0104064 Craig Markwardt has independently confirmed the result and gives further analysis on the rate of change of the acceleration: http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0208046 This is of course only just a very very very smale fraction 1/10'000'000'000 or somethign that the acceleration doesnt fit with the gravity law and I wondered what this could be. The key point here is that it dosn't fit the law, the extra force was constant over the range 40AU to 60AU. really constant? As far as they can tell, yes. This is more exciting then i ever thought. How is it between 1AU and 40AU? Does the extraforce increase "smoothly" or is it like a jump at 40AU? There are a range of problems that limited the region where they could make the measurement. Data from Pioneer 11 covers from 5AU to 30AU but below about 15AU the solar radiation pressure is comparable and introduces a large error. Data for Pioneer 10 starts at 27AU. One significant point is that the values for the two craft are very similar. Possible causes like faulty thruster valves or gas leaks are very unlikely to cause precisely the same anomaly on the two craft. Could this somehow be realted with the galaxy rotation phenomena where the far stars also looks to expire an acceleration to the gravity center stronger than it should be by the gravity law? (dark matter/modified newton mechanics)? Nobody knows. There have been lots of suggestions ranging from highly unlikely to bizarre but nothing seems to match. A few "highly speculative" ideas put forward by other people they mention a Maybe it's just the simplest thing we could imagine. A space invariant Force Something like: F = Gamma*m1*m2*r^-2 + Theta*m1*m2 (In the presume the Force would be constant from 0AU up to 60AU) where this additional force somehow manage to be space indepent but takes the direction of the gravity froce. Maybe that would fit for the galaxy rotation too. (I dont like the case decition in the modified newton mechanics. That is not natural.) Gamma could be adjusted to make space for Theta. * dark matter or modified gravity. * local curvature of light geodesics in expanding spacetime. * relativistically elastic spacetime. * Kaluza-Klein model in 5 dimensions with time-varying scale factor for the compactified fifth dimension. * scale-dependent cosmological term. * time-varying gravitational constant. * a superstrong interaction of photons with single gravitons. * flavor oscillations of neutrinos in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity producing a quantum mechanical phase shift of neutrinos. I don't understand a word of some of these but you get the idea - it is a real puzzle! Thanks for the links. Is there still more information somewhere? Read the main Anderson paper first, it's about 50 pages and there's _lots_ of information in that. Then I suggest you look at the papers that cite Anderson's. http://www.arxiv.org/cits/gr-qc/0104064 Thank you. I will do. They cover everything from gas leaks to five-dimensional gravity. There are over 40 and more being added all the time. You can even get the original data from the NSSDC but be warned it is about 500Mb of raw binary telemetry measurements! Have fun, George Lombo |

Do you have a reference for that or can you show how it leads to a constant acceleration? It is also consistent with them hitting slower moving gases too. Surely the density needed is far higher than the observational limits. George |

It's all an idea only, that's maybe worth to be checked. I think the galaxy and the pioneer expire the same anomalie and maybe an alternated gravity law can be found that modells both. rad |

Yes, they are observed and the orbits calculated directly. Kepler did this about 350 years ago and found the orbits were ellipses but could not prove that an inverse square law would produce an elliptical orbit. Newton did that some years later, so the orbits came first and the law followed.

Many people writing in response to the original paper have suggested changes to gravity but none have been able to find a version that fits. Most alternatives would cause very large changes to the orbits of the planets. In your equation above, if you make Theta*m1*m2 equal to the anomalous acceleration and reduce the Gamma*m1*m2*r^-2 term to fit for Mercury, the effect on the outer planets would be so large they probably couldn't stay in orbit for very long.

George That sounds plausible. And nevertheless something doesnt fit If we really know the orbits by observation and they obay the original Gravity Law how comes the pinoeer seems to do not? Asumed there is no physical difference between a Planet like Neptun and the pioneer sonde if we both see them as space-object with a mass and charge and a velocity. How can the piooner expire another force than the outer planets on the same distacne to the sun? They should expire exactly the same anomaliy. If they don't than there must be a difference between a planet and a pioneer sonde. Obviously Differences a 1) the velocity direction 2) the size (mass, volumen, area) 3) maybe a static charge the pioneer (and the sun??) carry (not neutral charged) 4) the kind of material My thoughts: 1) don't think that matters.. (wouldnt fit to nature) 2) It cant be mass if the planets show that theoriginal Gravity Law is true. Except wie would consider somthing likeTheta* m2 without an m1. which would but rather not logic. And whats with Theta only? - too strange i think. volumen? Mabye the space it takes.But hwats the space a body occupies? And then wouldn't it be something very simmular to Theta*m1*m2? area? That would be something simular to Theta*m1. Too strange 3) How could this happen? Could the pioneer collect charge b traveling through space? But then the sun must have a charge too and if so why not the planets? But sun and planets cant have charge at the same time otherwhise planet orbits wouldnt fit. Also the charge would not lead to a constant force. 4) The pioneer has a lot of metal .Presume they travel through a magnetic field the additional force would show into the right direction. Presume the magnetic field would be constant rhe additional force would not be constant but proportinal to the velocity. Hmm how much did the pioneer slow down between 40AU and 60AU? Could it be compensated with an increasing magentic field (but how would it increase?). Is there any magnetifield out there and if so where does it come from? (Did the pioneer sondes measured the magnetic field?) hmm strange strange strange, but very very interesting Thanks for your comments George, Lombo ... |

Yeah, they'll probably stop, and head back to where they came from as
meteors. http://www.geocities.com/solarstormmonitor/Pioneer.html =DF=83--=B9=B9 |

Actually the behaviour is consistent with Dark Matter distributed near the periphery of the Solar System, adding to the mass inside the Solar System. Do you have a reference for that or can you show how it leads to a constant acceleration? I can show very little (since I care little for DM). The anomolous behaviours of spiral galaxies is pretty much evenly distributed based on distance, achieving approximately identical radial velocity regardless of distance. This would indicate a consantly increasing DM concentration, constantly variable G (ala MOND to some extent), or some other thing. If, in the case of Pioneer, the distribution is essentially apparently a step change in G, then the distribution of DM, if that is the cause, would be just "inside" the radius where the anomolous acceleration occurs. Assuming G is constant, then M_ss must increase (where M_ss is all the known mass within that radius and DM). It is also consistent with them hitting slower moving gases too. Surely the density needed is far higher than the observational limits. I would think so, but this is one of the flavors of "reasons" I have read. A decreasing mass density with increasing differential velocity would do the trick. Not unreasonable, unless there was no change in the anomolous acceleration across the orbit of planets (presumably swept by the planet) or the "shadow" of planets (where the mass outflow was gravitationally bound or at least deflected) Solar wind, in some sense. Slower, cooler, expanding more and more slowly, but less dense due to, well the usual culprits. David A. Smith |

But this means, that Neptune and Pluto had to expire the same anaomalie. Their orbit's must be a little different then which also hits the same trouble like a modified gravity law except that you dont have to care about the inner planets and it would only matters for the outer planets. (would be like a modified gravity law make fitted for saturn instead of merkure) So the orbit wouldnt change that dramatic, just a little. Again the question, do we know the orbits of the outer planets exactly enough to exclude this? It is also consistent with them hitting slower moving gases too.
