The half-century old idea of Infeld to use the variational principle of the general relativity field equations is reminded to show that the commonly employed EIH (Einstein–Infeld–Hoffman) equations of motion may be derived from the linearized (weak-field) metric alone. Based on it, the linearized metric might be sufficient for post-Newtonian celestial mechanics and astrometry enabling one to derive the post-Newtonian equations of motion and rotation of celestial bodies as well as the post-Newtonian equations of light propagation within the general relativity framework.  相似文献

The post-Newtonian approximation for general relativity is widely adopted by the geodesy and astronomy communities. It has been successfully exploited for the inclusion of relativistic effects in practically all geodetic applications and techniques such as satellite/lunar laser ranging and very long baseline interferometry. Presently, the levels of accuracy required in geodetic techniques require that reference frames, planetary and satellite orbits and signal propagation be treated within the post-Newtonian regime. For arbitrary scalar W and vector gravitational potentials \(W^j (j=1,2,3)\), we present a novel derivation of the energy associated with a test particle in the post-Newtonian regime. The integral so obtained appears not to have been given previously in the literature and is deduced through algebraic manipulation on seeking a Jacobi-like integral associated with the standard post-Newtonian equations of motion. The new integral is independently verified through a variational formulation using the post-Newtonian metric components and is subsequently verified by numerical integration of the post-Newtonian equations of motion.  相似文献

We apply the Lorentz boosting method to the Kerr-Newman metric in harmonic coordinates, and obtain the second post-Minkowskian order harmonic metric for a moving Kerr-Newman black hole with an arbitrary constant speed. This metric may be useful for investigating observable relativistic effects due to the motion of the moving source. As an application, the post-Newtonian equations of motion for a particle and a photon in the far field of this black hole are calculated.  相似文献

This paper describes a numerical simulation of the rigid rotation of the Moon in a relativistic framework.Following a resolution passed by the International Astronomical Union(IAU) in 2000,we construct a kinematically non-rotating reference system named the Selenocentric Celestial Reference System(SCRS) and give the time transformation between the Selenocentric Coordinate Time(TCS) and Barycentric Coordinate Time(TCB).The post-Newtonian equations of the Moon's rotation are written in the SCRS,and they are integrated numerically.We calculate the correction to the rotation of the Moon due to total relativistic torque which includes post-Newtonian and gravitomagnetic torques as well as geodetic precession.We find two dominant periods associated with this correction:18.6 yr and 80.1 yr.In addition,the precession of the rotating axes caused by fourth-degree and fifth-degree harmonics of the Moon is also analyzed,and we have found that the main periods of this precession are 27.3 d,2.9 yr,18.6 yr and 80.1 yr.  相似文献

The explicit forms of the metric as well as the equations of motion in the first-order post-Newtonian approximation are worked out under several gauge conditions. It is noted that the so-called EIH (Einstein, Infeld, and Hoffman) equation of motion for an assembly ofN finite mass points mutually interacting via gravitation is identically obtained under three different gauge conditions, namely the harmonic gauge, Chandrasekhar gauge and a composite Chandrasekhar gauge used by Misneret al. (1970), even though the solutions for the metric are found to be all different. In one case the metric has a component apparently diverging, but finally generates regular affine connections so that the equations of motions become free from any singularity. By use of the Chandrasekhar gauge and his formulation, the second-order contribution to the acceleration of planets in the limit of test particle motion around the Sun has been calculated, the inclusion of which in the EIH set of the equations of motion would extend the relative accuracy of computing the total acceleration of any planet to better than one part in 1017.  相似文献

The first post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity is used to account for the motion of solar system bodies and near-Earth objects which are slow moving and produce weak gravitational fields. The \(n\)-body relativistic equations of motion are given by the Einstein-Infeld-Hoffmann equations. For \(n=2\), we investigate the associated dynamics of two-body systems in the first post-Newtonian approximation. By direct integration of the associated planar equations of motion, we deduce a new expression that characterises the orbit of test particles in the first post-Newtonian regime generalising the well-known Binet equation for Newtonian mechanics. The expression so obtained does not appear to have been given in the literature and is consistent with classical orbiting theory in the Newtonian limit. Further, the accuracy of the post-Newtonian Binet equation is numerically verified by comparing secular variations of known expression with the full general relativistic orbit equation.  相似文献

We derive a formula for the nodal precession frequency and the Keplerian period of a particle at an arbitrary orbital inclination (with a minimum latitudinal angle reached at the orbit) in the post-Newtonian approximation in the external field of an oblate rotating neutron star (NS). We also derive formulas for the nodal precession and periastron rotation frequencies of slightly inclined low-eccentricity orbits in the field of a rapidly rotating NS in the form of asymptotic expansions whose first terms are given by the Okazaki-Kato formulas. The NS gravitational field is described by the exact solution of the Einstein equation that includes the NS quadrupole moment induced by rapid rotation. Convenient asymptotic formulas are given for the metric coefficients of the corresponding space-time in the form of Kerr metric perturbations in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates.  相似文献

Starting from a previously studied theory of gravitation in flat space-time the post-Newtonian approximation of the gravitational field of an nonstationary spherically symmetric star is derived. To the post-Newtonian order the equations of motion and the conserved total energy of a collapsing star are given. Birkhoff's theorem holds to this accuracy.  相似文献

Starting from the differential equation of motion of photons on equatorial plane and in spherically symmetric field of gravitation and adopting the post-Newtonian approximate method, the post-post-Newtonian amendments of radar echo delay test in the Reissner-Nordström metric field are investigated. Via calculations the post-Newtionian and post-post-Newtonian amendments are obtained. When the electric charge Q is equal to zero, these results are applicable to electrically neutral celestial bodies, and the amendments of post-Newtonian parts are consistent with those provided by classical literature. The approximate expansion used in this paper can also be adopted to probe the amendments of still higher orders. The high-order amendments for radar echo have important significance to the ongoing high-precision spatial gravitation tests.  相似文献

Under the post-Newtonian approximation, the internal and external metrics of a rigidly rotating oblate spheroid filled by a uniform and incompressible perfect fluid are obtained. And the analytic solutions of post-Newtonian metric components are derived by using the series expansion in an ellipsoidal coordinate system. For this specific problem, there are only finite terms remaining in the series expansion, so the obtained results can be used to study particle motion under these metrics.  相似文献

近来相继提出一系列的空间天体测量计划,要求考虑在多参考系中二阶后牛顿部分对光线传播的贡献,也就是说,必须讨论在最近完成的扩展的DSX体系下的二阶后牛顿(2PN)光线方程.DSX体系是在20世纪90年代初建立的,用来讨论对N个任意形状和组成、自转可变形物体的一套完整的一阶后牛顿(1PN)天体力学理论.在此建议采用迭代的方法来推导2PN光线方程.从度规和Christoffel记号出发推导太阳系中的2PN光线方程.当忽略掉更高阶的项时,2PN光线方程将回到在很多教科书中广泛出现的1PN光线方程.利用这套方程就可以计算太阳系的光线传播.  相似文献

With the rapid development of techniques for astronomical observations,the precision of measurements has been significantly increasing. Theories describing astronomical relativistic reference systems, which are the foundation for processing and interpreting these data now and in the future, may require extensions to satisfy the needs of these trends. Besides building a framework compatible with alternative theories of gravity and the pursuit of higher order post-Newtonian approximation, it will also be necessary to make the first order post-Newtonian multipole moments of celestial bodies be explicitly expressed in the astronomical relativistic reference systems.This will bring some convenience into modeling the observations and experiments and make it easier to distinguish different contributions in measurements. As a first step,the global solar system reference system is expressed as a multipolar expansion and the post-Newtonian mass and spin moments are shown explicitly in the metric which describes the coordinates of the system. The full expression of the global metric is given.  相似文献

On the basis of the results by Huang et al. (1990), this paper further discusses and analyses the four post-Newtonian effects in a near-Earth satellite orbit: the Schwarzschild solution, the post-Newtonian effects of the geodesic precession, the Lense-Thirring precession and the oblateness of the Earth. A full analytical solution to the effects including their direct perturbations and mixed perturbations due to the Newtonian oblateness (J 2) perturbation and the Schwarzschild solution is obtained using the quasi-mean orbital element method analogous to the Kozai's mean orbital element one. Some perturbation properties of the post-Newtonian effects are revealed. The results obtained not only can provide a sound scientific basis for the precise determination of a man-made satellite orbit but also is suitable for similar mechanics systems, such as the motions of planets, asteroids and natural satellites.  相似文献

We consider the solid-solid interactions in the two body problem. The relative equilibria have been previously studied analytically and general motions were numerically analyzed using some expansion of the gravitational potential up to the second order, but only when there are no direct interactions between the orientation of the bodies. Here we expand the potential up to the fourth order and we show that the secular problem obtained after averaging over fast angles, as for the precession model of Boué and Laskar [Boué, G., Laskar, J., 2006. Icarus 185, 312-330], is integrable, but not trivially. We describe the general features of the motions and we provide explicit analytical approximations for the solutions. We demonstrate that the general solution of the secular system can be decomposed as a uniform precession around the total angular momentum and a periodic symmetric orbit in the precessing frame. More generally, we show that for a general n-body system of rigid bodies in gravitational interaction, the regular quasiperiodic solutions can be decomposed into a uniform precession around the total angular momentum, and a quasiperiodic motion with one frequency less in the precessing frame.  相似文献

The post-Newtonian approximation of the gravitational field of a perfect fluid for a previously stated theory of gravitation in flat space-time is studied. The conservation laws of energy-momentum and angular-momentum are derived and the equivalence of the conservation law of energy-momentum and the equations of motion is shown to the studied accuracy. The equations of motion are stated. All the results of the post-Newtonian approximation of the gravitation theory in flat space-time and of the general theory of relativity, as considered by Will in his famous book, agree to the studied accuracy.  相似文献

We consider two spheroidal rigid bodies of comparable size constituting the components of an isolated binary system. We assume that (1) the bodies are homogeneous oblate ellipsoids of revolution, and (2) the meridional eccentricities of both components are small parameters.We obtain seven nonlinear differential equations governing simultaneously the relative motion of the two centroids and the rotational motion of each set of body axes. We seek solutions to these equations in the form of infinite series in the two meridional eccentricities.In the zero-order approximation (i. e., when the meridional eccentricities are neglected), the equations of motion separate into two independent subsystems. In this instance, the relative motion of the centroids is taken as a Kepler elliptic orbit of small eccentricity, whereas for each set of body axes we choose a composite motion consisting of a regular precession about an inertial axis and a uniform rotation about a body axis.The first part of the paper deals with the representation of the total potential energy of the binary system as an infinite series of the meridional eccentricities. For this purpose, we had to (1) derive a formula for representing the directional derivative of a solid harmonic as a combination of lower order harmonics, and (2) obtain the general term of a biaxial harmonic as a polynomial in the angular variables.In the second part, we expound a recurrent procedure whereby the approximations of various orders can be determined in terms of lower-order approximations. The rotational motion gives rise to linear differential equations with constant coefficients. In dealing with the translational motion, differential equations of the Hill type are encountered and are solved by means of power series in the orbital eccentricity. We give explicit solutions for the first-order approximation alone and identify critical values of the parameters which cause the motion to become unstable.The generality of the approach is tantamount to studying the evolution and asymptotic stability of the motion.Research performed under NASA Contract NAS5-11123.  相似文献
