Post-post-Newtonian deflection of light ray multiple systems with PPN parameters

The post-Newtonian scheme in multiple systems with post-Newtonian parameters presented by Klioner and Soffel is extended to the post-post-Newtonian （PPN） order for light propagation problem in the solar system. Under considering the solar system experiment requirement, a new parameter ε is introduced. This extension does not change the virtue of the scheme on the linear partial differential equations of the potential and vector potential mentioned in previous work. Furthermore, this extension is based on the former work done by Richter and Matzner in one global system theory. As an application, we also consider the deflection of light ray in the global coordinates. And the deflection angle of light ray is obtained with post-Newtonian parameters.     

Tomography in Optically Axisymmetric Media

A generalization of the Cormac algorithm for the inversion of the Radon transformation in an optical medium with an axisymmetric index of refraction has been proposed. The distribution of rays is such that only one ray passes through any two points in the circle. A “parallel scanning scheme” of tomography has been considered: a cylindrical object is illuminated by a parallel beam of light, the rays of which are deflected into the cylinder. There is no refraction on the surface of the cylinder. The algorithm assumes the possibility of attenuation on a ray, which also has an axisymmetric character. Such a type of ray deflection occurs in problematic issues of the tomography of GRADANs, light guides, and plasma.

     

Gravimagnetism,causality, and aberration of gravity in the gravitational light-ray deflection experiments

Experimental verification of the existence of gravimagnetic fields generated by currents of matter is important for a complete understanding and formulation of gravitational physics. Although the rotational (intrinsic) gravimagnetic field has been extensively studied and is now being measured by the Gravity Probe B, the extrinsic gravimagnetic field generated by the translational current of matter is less well studied. The present paper uses the post-Newtonian parametrized Einstein and light geodesics equations to show that the extrinsic gravimagnetic field generated by the translational current of matter can be measured by observing the relativistic time delay and/or light deflection caused by the moving mass. We prove that the extrinsic gravimagnetic field is generated by the relativistic effect of the aberration of the gravity force caused by the Lorentz transformation of the metric tensor and the Levi–Civita connection. We show that the Lorentz transformation of the gravity field variables is equivalent to the technique of the retarded Lienard–Wiechert gravitational potentials predicting that a light particle is deflected by gravitational field of a moving body from its retarded position so that both general-relativistic phenomena—the aberration and the retardation of gravity—are tightly connected and observing the aberration of gravity proves that gravity has a causal nature. We explain in this framework the 2002 deflection experiment of a quasar by Jupiter where the aberration of gravity from its orbital motion was measured with accuracy 20%. We describe a theory of VLBI experiment to measure the gravitational deflection of radio waves from a quasar by the Sun, as viewed by a moving observer from the geocentric frame, to improve the measurement accuracy of the aberration of gravity to a few percent.     

Implementation of a beam deflection system for studies of liquid interfaces on beamline I07 at Diamond

X‐ray optics, based on a double‐crystal deflection scheme, that enable reflectivity measurements from liquid surfaces/interfaces have been designed, built and commissioned on beamline I07 at Diamond Light Source. This system is able to deflect the beam onto a fixed sample position located at the centre of a five‐circle diffractometer. Thus the incident angle can be easily varied without moving the sample, and the reflected beam is tracked either by a moving Pilatus 100K detector mounted on the diffractometer arm or by a stationary Pilatus 2M detector positioned appropriately for small‐angle scattering. Thus the system can easily combine measurements of the reflectivity from liquid interfaces (Q_z > 1 Å^?1) with off‐specular data collection, both in the form of grazing‐incidence small‐angle X‐ray scattering (GISAXS) or wider‐angle grazing‐incidence X‐ray diffraction (GIXD). The device allows operation over the energy range 10–28 keV.     

Light Propagation in the Second post-Newtonian Approximation of Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravity

In this paper, we use the metric coefficients and the equation of motion obtained in the second post-Newtonian approximation of scalar-tensor theory to derive the second-order light propagation equation and the light deflection angle and compare it with previous works. These results are useful for precision astrometry missions like ASTROD, GAIA, Darwin and SIM which aim at astrometry with micro-arcsecond and nano-arcsecond accuracies, and need for the second post-Newtonian framework and ephemeris for observations to determine the stellar and spacecraft positions.     

Post-Newtonian limit of Finsler space theories of gravity and solar system tests

Finsler geometry is considered as a wider framework for analysing solar system tests of theories of gravity than is afforded by Riemannian geometry. The post-Newtonian limit for the spherically symmetric one-body problem is examined by expanding the Finsler metric about the Minkowski space of Special Relativity for those Finsler spaces whose null surface is Riemannian. In such a framework there are five PPN parameters instead of the three in Riemannian geometry. The classical solar system tests can readily be satisfied leaving two arbitrary parameters. These parameters could be determined from measurements of the second order gravitational red-shift and periodic perturbations in particle orbits, thus providing a consistency check on the Riemannian metric hypothesis of General Relativity. Such an experiment is possible on a satellite on an orbit with perihelion of a few solar radii.     

Analysis of the optical data on the deflection of light in the vicinity of the solar limb

Analysis of most observations of the deflection of light near the solar limb establishes the validity of general relativity's prediction beyond a certain distance of the sun and the existence of a new effect which is significant in the close vicinity of the solar limb.     

An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for the CATGIXRF program – for microstructural evaluation of thin film and impurity doped surfaces

This paper is a continuation and extension of our earlier work (X‐ray Spectrom. 2010 , 39, 127–134, DOI:10.1002/xrs.1215) on the development of a software platform CATGIXRF, as a solution to provide non‐destructive evaluation of nanostructured materials. Here, we describe an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for the CATGIXRF program. The newly developed GUI interface facilitates determination of microstructural parameters on angstrom length scale for the nanostructured thin layered materials using synchrotron as well as laboratory X‐ray sources. It allows combined analysis capabilities for both the X‐ray reflectivity and grazing incidence X‐ray fluorescence (GIXRF) data simultaneously, thus enabling us a greater sensitivity for the determination of microstructural parameters such as thickness, interface mixing, and roughness of a thin film medium with improved accuracies. The utility and various newly added salient features of the GUI‐CATGIXRF program are described by providing example calculations as well as by analyzing experimentally a few thin film structures with different surface‐interface properties.

Parametrized post-post-Newtonian (PP2N) formalism for the solar system

An extension of the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism to third order in the expansion parameterm/r is used to derive analytical expressions accurate to the same order for the motion of test particles and photons in the presence of the gravitational field of the sun represented by a static, isotropic metric. The consequences of including higher-order terms are discussed in relation to the so-called classical gravitational tests for the case of general relativity theory. Present observational or experimental data are not accurate enough to detect variations due to the inclusion of higher-order terms but a planned solar probe experiment may provide information that would make such detection possible.     

Gravitational two-body problem with acceleration-dependent spin terms

We generalize our previous work, on the gravitational two-body post-Newtonian Lagrangian with spin and parametrized post-Newtonian parameters and , by addingaccelerationdependent spin terms corresponding to anarbitrary spin supplementary condition. For the purpose of constructing the corresponding Hamiltonian we make use of our recently developedmethod of the double zero. Using this method, we remove the acceleration-dependent spin terms from the Lagrangian and, in the process, create new non-accelerationdependent terms. Use of this new Lagrangian enables us to construct the Hamiltonian corresponding to the arbitrary spin supplementary condition. Energy constants of the motion are also discussed.     

Über die Schwere des Lichtes in der Gravitationstheorie. II

If the vacuum velocity v of light is a function of the gravitation field only (Einstein-effect), then v is independent from the light frequence ν. This statement results from the Maxwell equations only and is independent from the special form of gravitation field theory. The frequence independence of the velocity of light is in a good arrangement with the astrophysical facts. – However, in non-linear generalizations of Maxwell's electrodynamics a hypothetical dependence of the light velocity from the intensity of the radiation field may result (Freundlich-effect). This hypothetical effect may give a dependence of v from the frequence. – With this excess of the light deflection an excess in the red-shift of the solar spectral-lines should be associated. In the visual domain of the solar spectrum the real value of the red-shift could be more than 20% greater than the Einstein-value.     

The influence of free quintessence on gravitational frequency shift and deflection of light with 4D momentum

On the basis of the 4D momentum, the influence of quintessence on the gravitational frequency shift and the deflection of light are examined in modified Schwarzschild space. We find that the frequency of a photon depends on the state parameter of the quintessence w _q: the frequency increases for −1<w _q<−1/3 and decreases for −1/3<w _q<0. Meanwhile, we adopt an integral power number a (a=3ω _q+2) to solve the orbital equation of photon. The photon’s potentials become higher with the decrease of ω _q. The behavior of the bending light sensitively depends on the state parameter ω _q. In particular, for the case of ω _q=−1, there is no influence on the deflection of light by quintessence. Furthermore, according to the H-masers of the GP-A redshift experiment and long-baseline interferometry, the constraints on the quintessence field in the solar system are presented here.     

Post-Newtonian estimation in relativistic optics

A post-Newtonian analysis of the theory of gravity based on the metricg _ij(x,y)= _ij(x)+/c ²(1–1n ²)y _iy_j with the index of refractionn(x, y) is given. A generalized Lagrange space endowed with this metric is used for the study of gravitational phenomena. The index of refractionn(x, y) is expanded in integer powers of the gravitational potentialU=GM/rc ² andv ²/c ². It is shown that solar system tests impose a constraint on a combination of the constant, the post-Newtonian parameters defining the index of refractionn(x, y), and the post-Newtonian parameter associated to the Riemannian metric _ij(x).     

A soft XAS transmission cell for operando studies

A new cell for operando soft X‐ray absorption spectroscopy in transmission mode is presented. Developed for investigations on solar water‐splitting catalysts, the cell allows the study of solid films in direct contact with electrolyte solution while applying voltage and visible light. The design is optimized for fast sample exchange and the simultaneous measurement of fluorescence and transmission signal. The capability of the cell is presented on a manganese oxide (MnO_x) film, where electronic structure changes are monitored during forward and backward potential changes. Detailed information about the varying contributions of several Mn oxidation states during this process was revealed.     

The Post-Newtonian Effects of the Rotation of the Central Body on the Motion of the Celestial Body in Three Gravitational Theories

The post-Newtonian effects of the rotation of the central body on the variation of celestial orbital elements are studied according to the post-Newtonian metric theory. The variation of celestial orbital elements caused by the rotation of the central body in three gravitational theories of Einstein, Brans-Dicke and Nordtvedt is obtained by using the method of general perturbation. The resulting effects are the periodic variation of inclination, eccentricity and mean anomaly; the periodic and secular variation of longitudes of periastron and ascending node and mean longitudes of epoch, but the semimajor axis remains unperturbed (no variation). In addition, the obtained theoretical results are applied to the calculation of the post-Newtonian effect of the rotation of the sun on the variation of the orbital elements of planets in solar system. The numerical results are given in nble 1. Finally, the obtained results are discussed and compared with other theories.     

Relativistic optics of nondispersive media

The relativistic optics of the nondispersive media endowed with the metric g_ij(x) [Eq. (1.6)] and with a nonlinear connection [Eq. (1.2)] is studied. The d-connection [Eqs. (3.3)– (3.4)] relates the conformal and projective properties of the space- time. A post-Newtonian estimation for the metric g_ij(x) is also given. It is shown that the solar system tests impose a constraint [Eq. (4.20)] on a combination of the post- Newtonian parameters describing the model.

Post-Newtonian Expansions for Perfect Fluids

We prove the existence of a large class of dynamical solutions to the Einstein-Euler equations that have a first post-Newtonian expansion. The results here are based on the elliptic-hyperbolic formulation of the Einstein-Euler equations used in [15], which contains a singular parameter , where v _T is a characteristic velocity associated with the fluid and c is the speed of light. As in [15], energy estimates on weighted Sobolev spaces are used to analyze the behavior of solutions to the Einstein-Euler equations in the limit , and to demonstrate the validity of the first post-Newtonian expansion as an approximation.     

Newtonian and Post-Newtonian Approximations of the k= 0 Friedmann–Robertson–Walker Cosmology

In a previous paper [9], we derived a post-Newtonian approximation to cosmology which, in contrast to former Newtonian and post-Newtonian cosmological theories, has a well-posed initial value problem. In this paper, this new post-Newtonian theory is compared with the fully general relativistic theory, in the context of the k= 0 Friedmann–Robertson–Walker cosmology. It is found that the post-Newtonian theory reproduces the results of its general relativistic counterpart, whilst the Newtonian theory does not.
