Planetary Perturbation with Cosmological Constant

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A contribution of quantum vacuum to the energy momentum tensor is inevitably experienced in the present universe. One requires the presence of non-zero cosmological constant (Λ\Lambda) to make the various observations consistent. A case of Λ\Lambda in the Schwarzschild de Sitter space-time shows that precession of perihelion orbit provides a sensative solar test for non-zero Λ\Lambda. Application of the relations involving Λ\Lambda to the planetery perturbation indicates the values near to the present bound on Λ\Lambda. Also suggested are some relations in vacuum dominated flat universe with a positive Λ\Lambda.
