- Title
LUNAR SYSTEM CONSTRAINTS ON THE MODIFIED THEORIES OF GRAVITY.
- Authors
EXIRIFARD, QASEM
- Abstract
The Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) paradigm to the missing mass problem requires introducing a functional that is to be identified through observations and experiments. We consider the aquadratic Lagrangian theory as a realization of the MOND. We show that the accurate value of the Earth GM measured by the lunar laser ranging measurements and that by various artificial Earth satellites, including the accurate tracking of the LAGEOS satellites, constrain this functional such that some of the chosen/proposed functional are refuted.
