我们提出了一种基于点状Lambertian源的方法，使人们能够对先锋10号和11号航天器的整体热诱导加速度进行可靠和全面的估计。我们表明，通过对模型的几个参数进行敏感性分析，我们可以对所谓的先锋异常的可能热源获得有价值的见解。
We present a methodology based on pointlike Lambertian sources that enables one to perform a reliable and comprehensive estimate of the overall thermally induced acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. We show, by developing a sensitivity analysis of the several parameters of the model, that one may achieve a valuable insight into the possible thermal origin of the so-called Pioneer anomaly.
