With regard to solar radiation effects causing the onset of effect, have any here investigated whether this is consistent with the observed residuals? Because the power of solar radiation is proportional to inverse square of distance from the Sun, it seems plausible to me that the mis-modeled effect of which Turyshev,etal speak is an under-modeling of solar radiation effects that fit a function of inverse square of distance from Sun. Even so I find that the residuals of Anderson, etal do not differ from the thermal model of Turyshev,etal by a function well correlated to inverse square of distance. If sufficient mismodeling (prop to 1/AU^2) is employed the fit isn't good but the onset is indicated.
It's not the thermal model I am questioning but the explanation of the cause of onset. That "Figure 2" is suggestive of the possibility that solar radiation effect may be the cause or at least part of the cause of the onset of effect is a reasonable intuition as far as I am concerned. Even so, getting the numbers to work is problematic when mismodeled solar radiation effects are modeled to be proportional to 1/AU^2.
