Abstract
Recently, Fischbach et al. suggested that the accelerations of various materials to the Earth may be different depending on their compositions, on the basis of their reanalysis of the results of the experiment of Eötvös, Pekár, and Fekete. We find that systematic effects due to thermal gradients can account for the experimental data.Keywords
