The uniformly accelerated reference frame, J. Dwayne Hamilton, Am. J. Phys. 46(1), January 1978
The observations that would be made by a uniformly accelerated observer are considered in detail. These include the observer's event horizon, the variation of clock rates with position (which implies that the gravitational red-shift is not totally dependant on curvature), and the effects to be expected when the motion if a freely falling object is followed. Consideration of the similarities between this reference frame and a real gravitational field is also given. A geometrical method for the construction of the reference frame of the accelerated observer is described in an Appendix.
