We present a statistical analysis of the laser ranging data of LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2 satellites which have provided a test of dragging of inertial frames, or frame-dragging, by rotating mass as predicted by General Relativity. As a result, the analysis of the residuals, after filtering out the periodic effects, is consistent with a Gaussian model, with a nonzero mean in agreement with the one predicted by Lense-Thirring effect.

Abstract
We present a statistical analysis of the laser ranging data of LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2 satellites which have provided a test of dragging of inertial frames, or frame-dragging, by rotating mass as predicted by General Relativity. As a result, the analysis of the residuals, after filtering out the periodic effects, is consistent with a Gaussian model, with a nonzero mean in agreement with the one predicted by Lense-Thirring effect.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
