Temperature and relativity

[Iraides Belandria]

What is the relationship between the temperature T of an observer moving at the velocity of light relative to the temperature To of an observer at rest, ? Is T= To / Square root (1-v2/c2) or T= To (square root(1-v2/c2)). Einstein´s or Planck´s deduction ?

I don't know it by heart (i never had to learn it).I can tell u where u can find it,though:Tolman's book [1] (in the newer edition(s),too)..I'm sure it can be found in books on thermodynamics as well,but i don't know of any that's in English...

http://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/9610016 sais that you can´t transform temperatures.

I simply doubt it.I think relativistic thermodynamics is a well-established theory.

Maybe. I absolutely don´t know what I´m talking about, just cited the article.

? if temperature is a thermodynamic property should be it indepedent of velocity of observer?
