The Pioneer anomaly in covariant theory of gravitation

Abstract: The difference of equations of motion in the covariant theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity is used to explain the Pioneer anomaly. Calculation shows that the velocities of a spacecraft in both theories at equal distances can differ by several centimetres per second. This leads also to a possible explanation of the flyby anomaly and comet disturbances, which are not taken into account by the general theory of relativity.

“…Hence, by induction, we should suppose that not only the mass of body, but the mass of any isolated small particle should be determined taking into account the contribution from the energy of proper fundamental fields of the particle. The described concept of mass in the covariant theory of gravitation (CTG) is confirmed by the analysis of the Hamiltonian [12] and of the Lagrangian in the principle of least action [13].…”

“…After substituting (12) in (14), it becomes apparent that the radius r at the integration in (13) must change from R to ∞ , and the angles θ and ϕ change the same way as in spherical coordinates (from 0 to π for the angle θ , and from 0 to 2π for the angle ϕ ). For the energy of the gravitational field outside the moving ball we find:…”

“…Equations (46) are derived in [11] from the principle of least action and are similar in their form to Maxwell equations, which are used to calculate E and B . Finally, the charge density 0q  can be related to the velocity by means of the equation of the electric charge continuity: …”

“…According to the logic of the covariant theory of gravitation [11] and the metric theory of relativity [12], contribution to the definition of the system's metric is made by the stress-energy tensors of all the fields, including the gravitational field. The metric is a secondary function, the derivative of the fields acting in the system that define all the basic properties of the system.…”
