Talk Title

Testing Local Lorentz Invariance with high-accuracy astrometric observations

Abstract

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.
