Are the Michelson–Morley experiment, the relativistic Doppler effect as well as the aberration of light consistent with an aether concept, and can the aether drift speed be determined?

After an overview of various citations relevant in the context of photon propagation, the relativistic longitudinal Doppler effect and the addition theorem of velocities are first derived taking into account momentum and energy conservation. Clocks, the transverse Doppler effect and aberration are treated next, before the Lorentz contraction of rods is discussed. The Michelson–Morley experiment is described at rest and in motion with respect to a preferred aether system, first under the assumption of an operation in vacuum. It is concluded that the aether concept is fully consistent with the formal application of the Special Theory of Relativity (STR). Whether a determination of the speed of the laboratory system relative to the aether is possible, is considered next either for an operation of the experiment in vacuum or in a medium with an index of refraction not equal to one. In both cases, the answer appears to be negative.
