Post-Newtonian Frames of Reference

Abstract

A general theory of frames of reference proposed in a preceding publication is considered here in the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation, assuming that the frame of reference is centered on a time-like geodesic. The problem of taking into account the rotation of the frame of reference, which is usually ignored or incorrectly oversimplified, is here discussed in detail and solved.

This preprint will not be submitted for publication, but the Author is willing to consider any proposal emanating from any interested scientific journal
