We study for the first time the possibility of probing long-range fifth forces utilizing asteroid astrometric data, via the fifth force-induced orbital precession. We examine nine Near-Earth Object (NEO) asteroids whose orbital trajectories…

Recently, the LIGO-Virgo collaboration discovered gravitational waves and in their first publication on the subject the authors also presented a graviton mass constraint as $m_g < 1.2 \times 10^{-22}$ eV (Abbott et al., 2016). In the paper…

Laser ranging satellites have proved their efficiency for high precision testing of the effect of frame-dragging, one of remarkable predictions of the General Relativity. The analysis of the randomness properties of the residuals of LAGEOS…

The new geodetic satellite LARES 2, cousin of LAGEOS and sharing with it almost the same orbital parameters apart from the inclination, displaced by 180 deg, was launched last year. Its proponents suggest using the sum of the nodes of…

Here we investigate a possible presence of a fifth force at the Galactic Center (GC), and its potential influence on the stellar orbits around the central supermassive black hole of our Galaxy. For this purpose we simulated the stellar…

In this work some aspects of the detection of certain general relativistic effects in the weak gravitational field of the Earth via laser-ranged data to some existing or proposed geodetic satellites are examined. The focus is on the…

Building upon earlier work, we explore the limits of using a configuration of satellites to measure the trace of the gravitational gradient tensor using intersatellite laser ranging and timing observables without relying on high-precision…

In the experimental tests of gravity, there have been considerable interests in the possibility of intermediate-range gravity. In this paper, we use the earth-satellite measurement of earth gravity, the lunar orbiter measurement of lunar…

Aims: The presence of a Yukawa-like correction to Newtonian gravity is investigated at the Galactic Center, leading to a new upper limit for the intensity of such a correction. Methods: We perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis using…

In this letter we reexamine the evaluation of \zone in some proposed tests of relativistic gravitomagnetism with existing and proposed laser--ranged LAGEOS--like satellites in the gravitational field of the Earth. A more conservative and…

The laser-tracked geodetic satellites LAGEOS, LAGEOS II and LARES are currently employed, among other things, to measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitomagnetic field of the spinning Earth with the hope of…

The accuracy reached in the past few years by Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) allows for measuring even tiny features of the Earth's gravitational field predicted by Einstein's General Relativity by means of artificial satellites. The…

Up to now attempts to measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of Earth have been performed by analyzing a suitable J_2-J_4-free combination of the nodes Omega of LAGEOS and LAGEOS II and the perigee…

A number of modified gravity theories (e.g., $f(R)$-gravity) lead to a Yukawa-like metric in the weak field limit which can be described by two Yukawa parameters, i.e., the strength $\kappa$ and the length scale $\lambda$. The S-stars,…

In this brief note some comments about the observable used in a recently published paper on the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring in the gravitational field of the Earth are presented. It turns out that, among other…

In this paper we study the observational constraints that can be imposed on the coupling parameter, $\hat \alpha$, of the regularized version of the 4-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity. We use the scalar-tensor field…

Using precession of orbits due to non-Newtonian interaction between two celestial bodies and modern tracking data of satellites, planets and a pulsar we obtain new more precise limits on possible Yukawa-type deviations from the Newton law…

In this paper we will show in detail that the performed attempts aimed at the detection of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with the existing LAGEOS satellites are often presented in an…

We focus on several models of modified gravity which share the characteristic of leading to perturbations of the Newtonian potential $\propto K_2~r^{-2}$ and $\propto K_3~r^{-3}$. In particular, by using existing long data records of the…

Extensions of the standard models of particle physics and cosmology often lead to long-range fifth forces with properties dependent on gravitational environment. Fifth forces on astrophysical scales are best studied in the cosmic web where…
