Abstract

We investigate the behavior of the thermal energy of a photon gas under the influence of gravity and observed from a moving frame, by considering Boltzmann's equation in a Riemannian manifold. For radiation measurements this approach has a local character, and it points out how the detected energy is affected by the motion of an observer in the presence of gravity.
