It is the work done with Leopold Indfeld and Banesh Hoffmann on the N-body problem of motion. In these papers, the gravitational field is no longer treated as external. Instead, it and the motion of its (singular) sources are treated simultaneously. A new approximation scheme is introduced in which the fields are no longer necessarily weak but in which the source velocities are small compared with the light velocity. (These equations) are widely used in analyses of planetary orbits in the solar system."(Pais "Subtle is the Lord", pp. 290-91).Weil: 202 a. 205, both with an asterix, denoting a major paper. - Boni: 236 a. 236.1.
