Relativity in Astrometry, Celestial Mechanics and Geodesy

The book "Relativity in Astrometry, Celestial Mechanics and Geodesy" repre­ sents a significant contribution to modern relativistic celestial mechanics and astrometry. In these branches of astronomy the theory of general relativity is used nowadays as an efficient practical framework for constructing accurate dynamical theories of motion of celestial bodies and discussing high-precision observatio...
