Relativistic formulation of coordinate light time, Doppler, and astrometric observables up to the second post-Minkowskian order

Relativistic formulation of coordinate light time, Doppler, and astrometric observables up to the second post-Minkowskian order

Given the extreme accuracy of modern space science, a precise relativistic modeling of observations is required. In particular, it is important to properly describe light propagation through the Solar System. For two decades, several modeling efforts based on the solution of the null geodesic equations have been proposed, but they …
