Is it possible to measure new general relativistic third-body effects on the orbit of Mercury with BepiColombo?
Abstract Recently, Will calculated an additional contribution to the Mercury’s precession of the longitude of perihelion $$\varpi $$ ϖ of the order of $${\dot{\varpi }}_\text {W}\simeq 0.22~\text {milliarcseconds per century}$$ ϖ˙W≃0.22milliarcseconds per century ($$\text {mas cty}^{-1}$$ mascty-1 )...
