The Measurement of the Light Deflection from Jupiter: Experimental Results
We have determined the relativistic light deflection of the quasar J0842+1835 as Jupiter passed within 3.′7 on 2002 September 8, by measuring the time delay using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and Effelsberg radio telescopes at 8.4 GHz. At closest approach, general relativity (GR) predicts a radial (static) deflection …
