Aberration of starlight experiment
Published 27 Jul 2013 in astro-ph.IM and physics.optics | (1307.7300v1)
Abstract: We propose an experiment using a conventional optical telescope to determine whether aberration of starlight results from special relativistic effects external to a measurement sensor or from optical effects within a sensor. The proposed measurements would discriminate between the two starlight aberration models in an Earth-based experiment. In addition, the measurements would yield an independent experimental test of relativistic time dilation.
