Abstract
We find exact Fermi coordinates for timelike geodesic observers for a class of spacetimes that includes anti-de Sitter spacetime, de Sitter spacetime, the constant density interior Schwarzschild spacetime with positive, zero, and negative cosmological constant, and the Einstein static universe. Maximal charts for Fermi coordinates are discussed.
