Victor A. Brumberg (born February 12, 1933) is a Russian theoretical physicist specializing in relativistic celestial mechanics and astrometry.
He was the leading developer of methods for recording relativistic effects in the motion of celestial bodies, the propagation of light, and in optical and radio observations.
Brumberg was also one of the creators of a unified relativistic theory of the motion of planets, a necessary step for the generation of Russian experiments in space.
Victor A. Brumberg has made a significant contribution to general relativity and the science of relativistic planetary ephemerides of the solar system.
He mentored and inspired many researchers around the globe (including the Editor of this book) to start working in the field of relativistic celestial mechanics.
For the next two decades this monograph remained the most authoritative reference and the source of invaluable information for researchers working on relativistic equations of motion and experimental testing of general relativity.
