EQUATIONS OF MOTION IN RELATIVISTIC GRAVITY GEB...

The present volume aims to be a comprehensive survey on the derivation of the equations of
motion  both in General Relativity as well as in alternative gravity theories. The topics
covered range from the description of test bodies  to self-gravitating (heavy) bodies  to
current and future observations. Emphasis is put on the coverage of various approximation
methods (e.g.  multipolar  post-Newtonian  self-force methods) which are extensively used in
the context of the relativistic problem of motion. Applications discussed in this volume range
from the motion of binary systems -- and the gravitational waves emitted by such systems -- to
observations of the galactic center. In particular the impact of choices at a fundamental
theoretical level on the interpretation of experiments is highlighted. This book provides a
broad and up-do-date status report  which will not only be of value for the experts working in
this field  but also may serve as a guideline for students with background in General
Relativity who like to enter this field.
