An Updated Estimate of Geocenter Variation from Analysis of SLR Data
The Earth’s center of mass (CM) is defined in satellite orbit dynamics as the center of mass of the entire Earth system, including the solid Earth, oceans, cryosphere, and atmosphere.

In this paper we will show in detail that the performed attempts aimed at the detection of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with the existing LAGEOS satellites are often presented in an optimistic and

A comprehensive study of plasmonic mode hybridization in gold nanoparticle‐over‐mirror (NPoM) arrays
Abstract Hybrid plasmonic systems that combine localized and propagative surface plasmons offer new opportunities for tunable light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. This paper provides the most comprehensive study to date of hybridization between gap localized surface plasmons (gap LSP) and diffraction‐mediated propagative surface plasmon ...

Testing General Relativity and gravitational physics using the LARES satellite
The discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe, thought to be driven by a mysterious form of `dark energy' constituting most of the Universe, has further revived the interest in testing Einstein's theory of General Relativity.

Quantifying Past and Future Terrestrial Water Storage Scarcity Across China Through Midcentury
Abstract Terrestrial water storage (TWS) in China, with the world's largest irrigated expanse and extensive mid‐low latitude glaciers, is essential for effective water resource management and socioeconomic risk adaptation. However, the responses of TWS to human intervention and climate change, both during historical periods and under future scenarios ...

ABSTRACT The Australian fur seal ( Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus , AUFS) population, currently less than 47% of its pre‐harvest size, represents the largest resident marine predator biomass in south‐eastern Australia. This region, characterized by low marine productivity and rapid warming, is home to Kanowna Island, the third‐largest AUFS colony ...

LARES succesfully launched in orbit: satellite and mission description
On February 13th 2012, the LARES satellite of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) was launched into orbit with the qualification flight of the new VEGA launcher of the European Space Agency (ESA). The payload was released very accurately in the nominal orbit.

Diminished Chandler Wobble After 2015: Link to Mass Anomalies in 2011
Abstract Observed polar motion after 2015 is dominated by the annual wobble, due to unprecedented amplitude reduction of the Chandler Wobble component. This change is likely due to suppression of the 433‐day‐period free wobble by geophysical excitation sources.

LARES/WEBER-SAT and the equivalence principle
It has often been claimed that the proposed Earth artificial satellite LARES/WEBER-SAT-whose primary goal is, in fact, the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect at a some percent level-would allow to greatly improve, among (many ...

Abstract The temporal evolution of the core‐mantle boundary (CMB) is of critical importance in elucidating the dynamic interactions between the fluid core and the solid mantle, but remains largely unknown. To investigate corresponding mass redistributions, we analyze GRACE satellite and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) measurements of the 2003–2015 space ...
