Supported by exercises and solutions this book offers graduate students and researchers entering those fields a self-contained and exhaustive but accessible treatment of applied general relativity. The book is written in a homogenous (graduate level textbook) style allowing the reader to understand the arguments step by step. It first introduces the mathematical and theoretical foundations of gravity theory and then concentrates on its general relativistic applications: clock rates, clock sychronization, establishment of time scales, astronomical references frames, relativistic astrometry, celestial mechanics and metrology. The authors present up-to-date relativistic models for applied techniques such as Satellite LASER Ranging (SLR), Lunar LASER Ranging (LLR), Globale Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Very Large Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), radar measurements, gyroscopes and pulsar timing. A list of acronyms helps the reader keep an overview and a mathematical appendix provides required functions and terms. 410 0$aAstronomy and Astrophysics Library,$x0941-7834 606 $aGravitation 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a530.11 676 $a530.1 700 $aSoffel$b Michael H$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0632320 702 $aHan$b Wen-Biao$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349508503321 996 $aApplied General Relativity$92532076 997 $aUNINA
