Relativistic celestial mechanics - investigating the motion
celestial bodies under the influence of general relativity - is a
major tool of modern experimental gravitational physics. With a
wide range of prominent authors from the field, this two-volume
series consists of reviews on a multitude of advanced topics in the
area of relativistic celestial mechanics - starting from more
classical topics such as the regime of asymptotically-flat
spacetime, light propagation and celestial ephemerides, but also
including its role in cosmology and alternative theories of gravity
as well as modern experiments in this area. This second volume of a
two-volume series covers applications of the theory as well as
experimental verifications. From tools to determine light travel
times in curved space-time to laser ranging between earth and moon
and between satellites, and impacts on the definition of time
scales and clock comparison techniques, a variety of effects is
discussed. On the occasion of his 80-th birthday, these two volumes
honor V. A. Brumberg - one of the pioneers in modern relativistic
celestial mechanics. Contributions include: J. Simon, A. Fienga:
Victor Brumberg and the French school of analytical celestial
mechanics T. Fukushima: Elliptic functions and elliptic integrals
for celestial mechanics and dynamical astronomy P. Teyssandier: New
tools for determining the light travel time in static, spherically
symmetric spacetimes beyond the order G2 J. Muller, L. Biskupek, F.
Hofmann and E. Mai: Lunar laser ranging and relativity N. Wex:
Testing relativistic celestial mechanics with radio pulsars I.
Ciufolini et al.: Dragging of inertial frames, fundamental physics,
and satellite laser ranging G. Petit, P. Wolf, P. Delva: Atomic
time, clocks, and clock comparisons in relativistic spacetime: a
