Title: Gravitational solution to the Pioneer 10/11 anomaly
Authors: J. R. Brownstein and J. W. Moffat

A fully relativistic modified gravitational theory including a fifth force
skew symmetric field is fitted to the Pioneer 10/11 anomalous acceleration.
The
theory allows for a variation with distance scales of the gravitational
constant G, the fifth force skew symmetric field coupling strength omega and
the mass of the skew symmetric field mu=1/lambda. A fit to the available
anomalous acceleration data for the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft is obtained for
a
phenomenological representation of the "running" constants and values of the
associated parameters are shown to exist that are consistent with fifth
force
experimental bounds. The fit to the acceleration data is consistent with all
current satellite, laser ranging and observations for the inner planets.
