The Solar System Odyssey mission uses modern-day high-precision experimental techniques to test the laws of fundamental physics which determine dynamics in the solar system. It could lead to major discoveries by B. Christophe (B) · B. Foulon · A.
The correlations between oil-price movements and GDPjluctuations are investigatedfor the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany (West), France, the United Kingdom, and Norway. The responses to price increases and decreases are allowed to be asymmetric. Bivariate con-elations as well as partial wrrelations within a reduced-form macroeconomic model are considered. We correlations with oil-price increases are negative and signijcant for most countries, but positive for Norway, whose oil-producing sector is large relative to the economy as a whole. lbe correlations with oil-price decreases are mostly positive, but significant only for the United States and Canada. Most countries show evidence of asymmetric effects, with Norway again as an exception.
Aims. The temporal evolution of the Pioneer anomalous acceleration is studied to determine its correlation with solar activity. Methods. Bayesian Weighted Least Squares algorithms and Kalman filters are used to study the temporal evolution of the Pioneer anomalous acceleration. Doppler data for Pioneer 10 and 11 spanning respectively 11 and 3.5 years were used in this study. Results. The Doppler data itself can not be used to distinguish between a constant acceleration model and acceleration proportional to the remaining plutonium in the radioisotope thermoelectric generators. There are significant short term variations in the anomalous acceleration. These are shown to be consistent with radio plasma delay from coronal mass ejections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
