Anna Maria Nobili
Encyclopedia
Anna Maria Nobili is an Italian physicist active in the field of gravitational physics.
Her institution is Pisa University. She authored a number of papers on satellite dynamics and co-authored a book with Andrea Milani
and P. Farinella
on the orbital perturbations induced by non-gravitational forces. After having published several papers on celestial mechanics, also in collaboration with Clifford Will and E. Myles Standish, Nobili is now Principal Investigator
of the Galileo Galilei
(GG) experiment aimed to improve the accuracy
of the equivalence principle
lying at the foundation of general relativity
and of other metric theories of gravity.
According to the NASA ADS database, the h-index
of Nobili is 17, with a total number of citations (self-citations excluded) equal to 954.

Equivalence principle
In the physics of general relativity, the equivalence principle is any of several related concepts dealing with the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and to Albert Einstein's assertion that the gravitational "force" as experienced locally while standing on a massive body is actually...
