Influence of celestial parameters on Mercury's perihelion shift

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper considers the influence of numerical values of the celestial parameters on the indeterminacy of the perihelion shift of Mercury's orbit. This shift is thought to be one of the fundamental tests of the validity of the general theory of relativity. In the current (astro)physical community, it is generally accepted that the additional relativistic perihelion shift of Mercury is the difference between its observed perihelion shift and the one predicted by Newtonian mechanics, and that this difference equals 43... per century. However, as it results from the subtraction of two quite inexact numbers of almost equal magnitude, it is subject to cancellation errors. As such, the above accepted value is highly uncertain and may not correspond to reality. We present a thorough numerical analysis of this problem.
