Constraining new fundamental physics with multiwavelength astrometry.

Abstract (from CDS):

While the deflection of light is achromatic in General Relativity, it is not always so in several new-physics models (e.g. certain quantum-gravity and string-inspired models, models with non-minimal photon-gravity coupling or with massive photon, etc.). We discuss how parameters of these models may be constrained by precise astrometry at different wavelengths. From published observations of the gravitational lens MG J2016+112, we obtain world-best limits on chromatic gravitational deflection of light (and the unique limit on the photon mass relevant for distance scales >Mpc). We also outline prospects for further improvement of these limits.
