Response to: Comment on ‘Orbital precession of the S2 star in scalar–tensor–vector gravity’

Abstract
ABSTRACT The explicit derivation for the orbital precession of the S2 star in the Galactic Centre in the scalar–tensor–vector gravity is discussed and compared with previous research. The two different predictions are validated by numerically integrating the geodesic equations for a test particle.
