Abstract: (arXiv)
We discuss the influence of the cosmological constant on the gravitomagnetic clock effect and the gravitational time delay of electromagnetic rays. Moreover, we consider the relative motion of a binary system to linear order in the cosmological constant Λ\Lambda. The general expression for the effect of Λ\Lambda on pericenter precession is given for arbitrary orbital eccentricity.
