Notes

Sergei Kopeikin (born April 10, 1956) is a

Victor A. Brumberg, was adopted in 2000 by the resolutions of the International Astronomical Union
as a standard for reduction of ground-based astronomical observation. A computer program
Tempo2 used to analyze radio observations of pulsars,[1][2] includes several effects predicted by S. Kopeikin that are important for measuring parameters of the binary pulsars,[3][4][5][6]
for testing general relativity,
multipole moments of arbitrary order [10][11] and derived the Lagrangian of the relativistic N-body problem.[12]

In September 2002, S. Kopeikin led a team which conducted a high-precision

VLBI experiment to measure the fundamental speed of gravity,[13][14] thus, confirming the Einstein's prediction on the relativistic nature of gravitational field and its finite speed of propagation.[15]

He is also involved in studies concerning the capabilities of the

Lunar Laser Ranging experiment. The LLR workshops were held in the International Space Science Institute (Bern, Switzerland) in 2010-2012.[17]

Recently, S. Kopeikin has been actively involved in theoretical studies on relativistic geodesy and applications of

normal gravity formula.[21]
S. Kopeikin's workshop on spacetime metrology, clocks and relativistic geodesy is held in the International Space Science Institute (Bern, Switzerland).[22]

Kopeikin was born in

Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich and presented a first general-relativistic derivation of the conservative and radiation reaction forces in the Post-Newtonian expansion
of the gravitational field of a binary system of two extended, massive bodies. In 1991, he obtained a
Friedrich Schiller University of Jena and in Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy until 1999. He had joined Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Missouri
in February 2000 where he got tenure in 2004.

He has been married to Zoia Kopeikina (daughter of

Solomon Borisovich Pikelner) since 1980, they have four daughters, four granddaughters and three grandsons. As of December 2019 the family lives in Columbia, Missouri and Texas
.
