Open AccessAn improved test of the general relativistic effect of frame-dragging using the LARES and LAGEOS satellites
We report the improved test of frame-dragging, an intriguing phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s General Relativity, obtained using 7 years of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data of the satellite LARES (ASI, 201...

Open AccessA test of general relativity using the LARES and LAGEOS satellites and a GRACE Earth gravity model
We present a test of general relativity, the measurement of the Earth’s dragging of inertial frames. Our result is obtained using about 3.5 years of laser-ranged observations of the LARES, LAGEOS, and LAGEOS 2...
