Recently, interest has increased in the entanglement of remote quantum particles through the Newtonian gravitational interaction, both from a fundamental perspective and as a test case for the quantization of gravity. Likewise,…
We derive the equations of motion for binary systems of compact bodies in the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation to general relativity. Results are given through 2PN order (order (v/c)^4 beyond Newtonian theory), and for gravitational…
We use the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism to explore the weak field approximation of teleparallel gravity non-minimally coupling to a scalar field $\phi$, with arbitrary coupling function $\omega(\phi)$ and potential…
We conducted a theoretical analysis of the violation of the equivalence principle within a broad class of scalar-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theories that exhibit spontaneous scalarization. Beginning with the Jordan frame, we performed a…
In general relativity, there is a velocity dependent term in the gravitational acceleration of a test particle for an observer at infinity. Depending on the direction of motion and the speed, that term can be repulsive. We show that this is…
The problem of a compact binary system whose components move on circular orbits is addressed using two different approximation techniques in general relativity. The post-Newtonian (PN) approximation involves an expansion in powers of…
In the framework of the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism, we substantiate an idea according to which we can measure the value of the cosmological gravitational potential $\Phi$ at the location of the Solar System, which is formed…
Einstein gravitation theory can be extended by preserving its geometrical nature but changing the relation between curvature and energy-momentum tensors. This change accounts for radiative corrections, replacing the Newton gravitation…
We consider a coplanar system comprised of a massive central body (a star), a less massive secondary (a planet) on a circular orbit, and a test particle on a bound orbit exterior to that of the secondary. The gravitational pull exerted on…
An asymptotic framework is defined for the small parameter eta which quantifies a good separation between the extended bodies that make a weakly gravitating system. This is introduced within an alternative scalar theory of gravitation,…
We consider an application of the Multipolar Post Minkowskian formalism to the case of a two-body system in radial fall. We compute, within the post-Newtonian approximation, the associated gravitational waveform reaching the 2.5…
The Schr\"odinger-Newton model describes self-gravitating quantum particles, and it is often cited to explain the gravitational collapse of the wave function and the localization of macroscopic objects. However, this model is completely…
Some theories of gravity predict the existence of preferred-frame effects and violations of conservation of energy and momentum. General relativity predicts no such effects. In the parameterised post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism, the…
The light-trajectory in the gravitational field of N extended bodies in arbitrary motion is determined in the first post-Newtonian approximation. According to the theory of reference systems, the gravitational fields of these massive bodies…
A scalar theory with a preferred reference frame is summarized. To test that theory in celestial mechanics, an "asymptotic" post-Newtonian (PN) scheme has been developed. This associates a conceptual family of self-gravitating systems with…
Analyzing two simple experimental situations we show that from Newton's law of gravitation and Special Relativity it follows that the motion of particle in an external gravitational field can be described in terms of effective spatial…
A triangular solution [Phys. Rev. D 107, 044005 (2023)] has recently been found to the planar circular three-body problem in the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism, for which they focus on a class of fully conservative theories…
The parameterised post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism is a weak-field slow-motion approximation for both GR and some of its generalisations. It permits various parameterisations of the motion, among which are the Lagrange-type and Gauss-type…
We present and discuss the possibility, derived from work carried out 20 years ago, that the equations of motion for compact binary neutron stars at the third post-Newtonian (3PN) order in general relativity might actually depend on the…
The Einstein field equations in linear post-Newtonian approximation can be written in analogy with electromagnetism, in the so-called gravito-electromagnetic formalism. We use this analogy to study the gravitational field of a massive ring:…
