Abstract


Stellar Aberration from the Standpoint of the Radiation Convection Hypothesis

Thomas E. Phipps
Year: 1991
Keywords: Stellar Aberration, Radiation Convection
A previously advanced hypothesis of radiation convection by the absorber, deduced from the so-called neo-Hertzian electomagnetism, is tested for its ability to account for the facts of stellar aberration. The test is passed at first order. Satellite astronomy may in the future offer some hope of observationally distinguishing this theory from special relativity.
