Gravitational waves and small-field astrometry

Robin Geyer, Sven Zschocke, Michael Soffel +3

Astrometric observations can, in principle, be used to detect gravitational waves. In this paper we give a practical overview of the gravitational wave effects which can be expecte…

Reference frames in General Relativity and the galactic rotation curves

L. Filipe O. Costa, José Natário, F. Frutos-Alfaro +1

The physical interpretation of the exact solutions of the Einstein field equations is, in general, a challenging task, part of the difficulties lying in the significance of the coo…

Advanced relativistic VLBI model for geodesy

Michael Soffel, Sergei Kopeikin, Wen-Biao Han

Our present relativistic part of the geodetic VLBI model for Earthbound antennas is a consensus model which is considered as a standard for processing high-precision VLBI observati…

On Relativistic Multipole Moments of Stationary Spacetimes

Francisco Frutos-Alfaro, Michael Soffel

Among the known exact solutions of Einstein vacuum field equations the Manko-Novikov and the Quevedo-Mashhoon metrics might be suitable ones for the description of the exterior gra…

On the Post-linear Quadrupole-Quadrupole Metric

Francisco Frutos-Alfaro, Michael Soffel

The Hartle-Thorne metric defines a reliable spacetime for most astrophysical purposes, for instance for the simulation of slowly rotating stars. Solving the Einstein field equation…

Effects on satellite orbits in the gravitational field of an axisymmetric central body with a mass monopole and arbitrary spin multipole moments

J. Meichsner, M. H. Soffel

Perturbations of satellite orbits in the gravitational field of a body with a mass monopole and arbitrary spin multipole moments are considered for an axisymmetric and stationary s…
