Gaia Astrometry and Fundamental Physics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 July 2015
Abstract
Unprecedented astrometric accuracy of Gaia gives a unique opportunity to perform a suite of tests of fundamental physics. The tests range from a test of the Local Lorenz Invariance and the gravitational defection of light to measuring the mass of black hole candidates in certain compact binary systems with visible components. Gaia data can also be used to estimate the energy flux of the gravitational waves in certain frequency ranges.
