Show affiliations


We calculate the transformation and inverse transformation, in the form of Taylor expansions, from arbitrary coordinates to Fermi–Walker coordinates in tubular neighborhoods of arbitrary timelike paths for general spacetimes. Explicit formulae for coefficients and the Jacobian matrix are given.
