Gravitational redshift test using Rb clocks of eccentric GPS satellites

This paper reports a test of gravitational redshift, which is a consequence of the Einstein equivalence principle, using the Rb clocks of GPS Block IIF satellites. The fractional deviation in the gravitational redshift was measured using 6,640 days of data from three Rb clocks onboard GPS Block IIF...

description This paper reports a test of gravitational redshift, which is a consequence of the Einstein equivalence principle, using the Rb clocks of GPS Block IIF satellites. The fractional deviation in the gravitational redshift was measured using 6,640 days of data from three Rb clocks onboard GPS Block IIF satellites. The systematic effects related to orbital uncertainty, temperature, and magnetic field were modeled conservatively. The fractional deviation in the gravitational redshift from the general relativity prediction was measured with [Formula: see text] at one sigma.
