Photon frequency shift in curvature based Extended Theories of Gravity [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2102.12401


We study the frequency shift of photons generated by rotating gravitational sources in the framework of curvature based Extended Theories of Gravity. The discussion is developed considering the weak-field approximation. Following a perturbative approach, we analyze the process of exchanging photons between Earth and a given satellite, and we find a general relation to constrain the free parameters of gravitational theories. Finally, we suggest the Earth-Moon system as a possible laboratory to test theories of gravity by future experiments which can be, in principle, based also on other Solar System bodies like Mars and its satellites.
