Title |
Measuring frame-dragging and other relativistic effects in the field of Jupiter with Juno | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||
|
Abstract |
The Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in July 2016. As suggested by independent analyses, it will offer an important opportunity to measure the gravitomagnetic field of the gaseous giant planet due to its angular momentum S through the Lense-Thirring effect. In view of the high values of the spacecraft's orbital eccentricity e and of the planet's oblateness J_2, also the general relativistic effects of order J_2 c^-2 might be measurable. |

Title |
The Solar Lense-Thirring effect: perspectives for a future measurement | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||
|
Abstract |
The gravitomagnetic field of the Sun, generated by its angular momentum S, induces tiny planetary orbital precessions. Recent advances in the field of ephemerides (INPOP, EPM, DE) by different teams of astronomers may lead to its measurement in a near future. The analysis of sufficiently long data records from the MESSENGER spacecraft may be of crucial importance to extract the Lense-Thirring signature from the Mercury's orbital residuals. |
