Aberration by gravitational lenses in motion.

FRITTELLI S.

Abstract (from CDS):

It is known that a fully relativistic integration of the null geodesics of a weak perturbation of flat space-time leads to a correction of order v/c to the bending angle and time delay due to a gravitational lens in slow motion with small acceleration. The existence of the v/c correction was verified by the very long baseline interferometry experiment of the bending of light by Jupiter on 2002 September 8. Here the v/c correction is interpreted by means of standard aberration of light in an optically active medium with an effective index of refraction induced by the gravitational field of a lens in motion.
