Influence of mass multipole moments on the deflection of a light ray by an isolated axisymmetric body
Influence of mass multipole moments on the deflection of a light ray by an isolated axisymmetric body
Future space astrometry missions are planned to measure positions and/or parallaxes of celestial objects with an accuracy of the order of the microarcsecond. At such a level of accuracy, it will be indispensable to take into account the influence of the mass multipole structure of the giant planets on the …
