Changes in the Sun's mass and gravitational constant estimated using modern observations of planets and spacecraft
Description: More than 635 thousand positional observations of planets and spacecraft of various types (mostly radiotechnical ones, 1961-2010) were used in this research study to estimate possible changes in the gravitational constant, Sun's mass, and semi-major axes of planetary orbits, as well as the associated value of the astronomical unit.
