Cover Story: The article explores methods for testing Finsler gravity theories. A satellite with an on-board atomic clock, orbiting in the Finslerian-perturbed gravitational field of the earth, is considered, whose time signal is transmitted to a ground station. There its receive time and frequency are measured with respect to another atomic clock; a configuration that is realized by the Galileo 5 and 6 satellites that have gone astray and are now on non-circular orbits. One of the main findings, obtained by numerical integration of the satellite’s orbit, followed by an iterative procedure which provides the numerically integrated signals from the satellite to the ground station, is that, for sufficiently eccentric orbits, Finslerian effects can be separated from the effects of perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime within the Lorentzian geometry.

Black holes are fantastic laboratories for probing new physics. Both theoretically and experimentally, many new ideas are emerging to use them as tools for understanding better quantum gravity or classical gravity beyond general relativity. I briefly...

It is well-known that static vacuum solutions of Einstein equations are analytic in suitable coordinates. We ask here for an extension of this result in the context of Finsler gravity. We consider Finsler spacetimes that retain several properties of...

The work presented in this paper aims to contribute to the problem of testing Finsler gravity theories by means of experiments and observations in the solar system. Within a class of spherically symmetric static Finsler spacetimes we consider a satel...

We derive generalised uncertainty relations (GURs) for orbital angular momentum and spin in the recently proposed smeared-space model of quantum geometry. The model implements a minimum length and a minimum linear momentum and recovers both the gener...

Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1s) are a well established class of γ -ray sources, showing the presence of a jet like the more common flat-spectrum radio quasars. The evidence of γ -ray emission poses the issue of the locat...

Foundations of Finsler Spacetimes from the Observers’ Viewpoint

  • Antonio N. Bernal,

  • Miguel Sánchez

Physical foundations for relativistic spacetimes are revisited in order to check at what extent Finsler spacetimes lie in their framework. Arguments based on inertial observers (as in the foundations of special relativity and classical mechanics) are...

After a long a glorious history, marked by the first direct proofs of neutrino existence and of the mixing between the first and third neutrino generations, the reactor antineutrino experiments are still well alive and will continue to give important...

As nano-scale metal-oxide-semiconductor devices are cooled to temperatures below 1 K, detrimental effects due to unintentional dots become apparent. The reproducibility of the location of these unintentional dots suggests that there are other mechani...
