Solar System Motions and the Cosmological Constant: A New Approach

Table 1

Estimated semimajor axes , in AU [27], and phenomenologically estimated corrections to the Newtonian-Einsteinian perihelion rates, in arcseconds per century , of Mercury, the Earth, and Mars [26]. Also the associated errors are quoted: they are in m for [27] and in for [26]. For the semimajor axes, they are the formal, statistical ones, while for the perihelia, they are realistic in the sense that they were obtained from comparison of many different solutions with different sets of parameters and observations [35]. However, the results presented in the text do not change if are rescaled by a factor 10.
