Another look at the Pioneer anomaly

Authors: Erhard Scholz

Comments: 7 pages

The unexpected frequency shift observed by the Pioneer team, usually 
described as an anomalous acceleration is analyzed from the perspective of 
two alternative assumptions on the origin of cosmological redshift (Hubble 
effect). One is the standard assumption of an "expanding space", the other 
is the assumption of an energy loss of photons without expanding space 
sections ("tiring light"). We find that under both assumptions the anomaly 
can be dissolved and turns out as a direct manifestation of the Hubble 
effect (Hubble law) inside the solar system. For the expanding space 
hypothesis new questions arise from this finding.
