dc.descriptionIn this paper we test the hypothesis that the Pioneer anomaly can be of gravitational origin by comparing the predicted model-independent shifts Delta a/a for the semimajor axis of Uranus and Neptune with the Voyager 2 radio-technical distance measurements performed at JPL-NASA. As in the case of other tests based on different methods and data sets (secular perihelion advance, right ascension/declination residuals over about one century), the orbits of the investigated planets are not affected by any anomalous acceleration like that experienced by the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft.
