Anomalous frequency shifts in the solar system
Abstract
Description
The improvements of the observations of the solar system allowed by the use of probes and big instruments let appear several problems: The frequencies of the radio signals received from the probes sent over 5 UA from the Sun are too high; the explanation by spicules or siphon-flows of the frequency shifts of UV emissions observed on the surface of the sun by SOHO is not satisfactory; the anisotropy of the CMB seems bound to the ecliptic.
This problems are solved using a coherent optical effect, deduced from standard spectroscopy and easily observed with lasers. In a gas containing atomic hydrogen in states 2S and (or) 2P, transfers of energy between light beams, allowed by thermodynamics, produce the required frequency shifts or amplifications.
