Constraints on Graviton Mass from Schwarzschild Precession in the Orbits of S-Stars Around the Galactic Center / P.Jovanovic, V.B.Jovanovic, D.Borka, A.F.Zakharov // Symmetry [Electronic resource]. – 2024. – Vol. 16, No. 4. – P. 397. – URL: https://doi.org/10.3390/sym16040397. – Bibliogr.: 109.

In this paper we use a modification of the Newtonian gravitational potential with a non-linear Yukawa-like correction, as it was proposed by C. Will earlier to obtain new bounds on graviton mass from the observed orbits of S-stars around the Galactic Center (GC). This phenomenological potential differs from the gravitational potential obtained in the weak field limit of Yukawa gravity, which we used in our previous studies. We also assumed that the orbital precession of S-stars is close to the prediction of General Relativity (GR) for Schwarzschild precession, but with a possible small discrepancy from it. This assumption is motivated by the fact that the GRAVITY Collaboration in 2020 and in 2022 detected Schwarzschild precession in the S2 star orbit around the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) at the GC. Using this approach, we were able to constrain parameter 𝜆 of the potential and, assuming that it represents the graviton Compton wavelength, we also found the corresponding upper bound of graviton mass. The obtained results were then compared with our previous estimates, as well as with the estimates of other authors.
