Emission versus Fermi coordinates: applications to relativistic positioning systems
A 4-dimensional relativistic positioning system for a general spacetime is constructed by using the so called "emission coordinates."The results apply in a small region around the world line of an accelerated observer carrying a Fermi triad, as described by the Fermi metric.In the case of a Schwarzschild spacetime modeling the …
