Two post-Newtonian features of motion in the Solar System: the Lense-Thirring effect and the Pioneer anomaly

Abstract_

In this talk we compare the latest planetary ephemerides EPM2004 with a) The predictions of general relativity for the gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring precessions of the orbits of the inner planets. b) The effects that a constant and uniform acceleration of the same magnitude of that of the Pioneer anomaly would induce on the motions of the outer planets of the Solar System.
