In this thesis, we review some basic properties of the Einstein-aether gravity. We derive
the field equations from an action and study a subclass of this theory corresponding to
the Einstein-Maxwell like theory. We also show that the Gö / del type metrics are also
exact solutions of this theory. Furthermore, we determine the observational constraints
on the dimensionless preferred parameters of this theory using the parametrized post-
Newtonian formalism. We stress that none of calculations and discussions are original
in this thesis.
