Tests of non-Newtonian gravity in space
!3 Joel Bergé, Rencontres de Moriond, March 27, 2019
From space: e.g. advance of perigee (LAGEOS) or equivalence principle (MICROSCOPE —P. Fayet’s and M. Pernot-Borras’ talks)
Possible lack of consistency: most tests either - assume Earth = point mass (ignore Earth’s shape) - or use/correct lowest shape information (extended sphere,
oblateness) from Earth models obtained under Newtonian gravity assumption
Yukawa deviation V(r) = −GM
r(1 + αe−r/λ)

Possible lack of consistency: most tests either - assume Earth = point mass (ignore Earth’s shape) - or use/correct lowest shape information (extended sphere,

Question: how do the shape of the Earth and a Yukawa deviation affect each other?

GOCE vs GRACE’s J2 => significant Yukawa deviation! Excluded for many years => underestimated errors in Earth gravity field models? Time-dependent systematics?

Conclusion
!11
• Source’s shape and non-Newtonian gravity twisted
• Spherical harmonic decomposition: coefficients ylm are not universal in non-Newtonian gravity, depend on distance to the centre of the source
• Non-Newtonian component implies bias and extra systematic errors when inverting the measured gravity field to reconstruct the source’s shape: still a few orders of magnitude below measurement errors in space, but significant(?) on the ground
• Possibility to test Yukawa deviation by comparing ylm at different altitudes. Ideally, compare measurements taken simultaneously.
• Imperfect knowledge of the source affects constraints on Yukawa parameters: still subdominant compared to measurement errors
