A detailed discussion of relativistic aberration can be found in the standard literature of special relativity. Here, we use the aberration formula to transform between the stationary reference frame (unprimed coordinates) and the moving reference frame (primed coordinates). The Doppler factor is defined as , where is the wavelength of the emitted light from a source at rest with respect to , and is the wavelength measured by the moving observer. From the point of view of the moving observer, there will be no Doppler shift, , for .
