Anomalous frequency shifts in the solar system

Abstract

The improvements of the observations of the solar system allowed by the use of probes and big instruments let appear several problems: The frequencies of the radio signals received from the probes sent over 5 UA from the Sun are too high; the explanation by spicules or siphon-flows of the frequency shifts of UV emissions observed on the surface of the sun by SOHO is not satisfactory; the anisotropy of the CMB seems bound to the ecliptic. This problems are solved using a coherent optical effect, deduced from standard spectroscopy and easily observed with lasers. In a gas containing atomic hydrogen in states 2S and (or) 2P, transfers of energy between light beams, allowed by thermodynamics, produce the required frequency shifts or amplifications.
