Relativity in Modern Astrometry and Celestial Mechanics — An Overview
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
After a short introduction into experimental foundations of general relativity, an overview of modern relativistic modelling of astronomical observations is given. The principal relativistic effects in various kind of observations are reviewed, and the problems for increasing accuracy of the astrometric catalogs due to general relativity are formulated.
