An overview of possible astrometric tests of relativity |
Possible astrometric tests of relativity will be classified into several classes. Example of tests for each class will be given. Special attention will be given for the tests to be performed with Gaia. |

Testing Local Lorentz Invariance with high-accuracy astrometric observations |
The problem of testing of the Local Lorenz Invariance using high-accuracy astrometric observations is analysed. The modelling of astrometric observation involves a formula for relativistic aberration which is usually derived from the Lorentz transformation. The Mansouri-Sexl generalization of the Lorenz transformation is considered in this work and a generalized aberration equation is derived. It is demonstrated that the leading effect violating the Local Lorentz Invariance is by the same combination of the Mansouri-Sexl parameters as measured in Michelson-Morley-type experiments. |
