Journal Article
On the 2PN Pericentre Precession in the General Theory of Relativity and the Recently Discovered Fast-Orbiting S-Stars in Sgr A
2021
Overview
Recently, the secular pericentre precession was analytically computed to the second post-Newtonian (2PN) order by the present author with the Gauss equations in terms of the osculating Keplerian orbital elements in order to obtain closer contact with the observations in astronomical and astrophysical scenarios of potential interest. A discrepancy in previous results from other authors was found. Moreover, some of such findings by the same authors were deemed as mutually inconsistent. In this paper, it is demonstrated that, in fact, some calculation errors plagued the most recent calculations by the present author. They are explicitly disclosed and corrected. As a result, all of the examined approaches mutually agree, yielding the same analytical expression for the total 2PN pericentre precession once the appropriate conversions from the adopted parameterisations are made. It is also shown that, in the future, it may become measurable, at least in principle, for some of the recently discovered short-period S-stars in Sgr A*, such as S62 and S4714.
