Frontiers in relativistic celestial mechanics. Volume 2, Applications and experiments / edited by Sergei M. Kopeikin.

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 a...
