Relativity in Fundamental Astronomy (Iau S261) - Dynamics, Reference Frames, and Data Analysis

Klappentext IAU S261 summarizes the present state of applied relativity, and discusses the applications and future tests of general relativity. Zusammenfassung IAU Symposium 261 summarizes the present state of applied relativity. Applications of general relativity to a range of disciplines are discussed! with emphasis on improving observational accuracies. Future tests of the theory are also covered. This is an invaluable resource for those interested in general and special relativity. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Astronomical space-time reference frames; 2.
