Fort Ross, the chief Russian port and settlement on the Californian coast, is about sixty miles north of San Francisco. DISCUSSION LENS-LIKE ACTION OF A STAR BY THE DEVIATION OF LIGHT IN THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD SOME time ago, R. W. Mandl paid me a visit and asked me to publish the results of a little calculation, which I had made at his request. This note complies with his wish. The light coming from a star A traverses the gravi- tational field of another star B, whose radius is BR. Let there be an observer at a distance D from B and at a distance x, small compared with D, from the ex- tended central line AB. According to the general theory of relativity, let a., be the deviation of the light ray passing the star B at a distance BR from its center. For the sake of simplicity, let us assume that AB is large, compared with the distance D of the observer from the deviating star B. We also neglect the eclipse (geometrical obscuration) by the star B, which indeed is negligible in all practically important cases. To permit this, D has to be very large compared to the radius B, of the deviating star. It follows from the law of deviation that an observer situated exactly on the extension of the central line AB will perceive, instead of a point-like star A, a luminius circle of the angular radius , around the center of B, where Bio- It su bo D t It should be noted that this angular diameter ,B does not decrease like 1/D, but like 1/VD, as the distance D increases. Of course, there is no hope of observing this phe- nomenon directly. First, we shall scarcely ever ap- proach closely enough to such a central line. Second, the angle ,B will defy the resolving power of our instruments. For, axO being of the order of magnitude of one second of arc, the angle RO/D, under which the deviating star B is seen, is much smaller. Therefore, the light coming from the luminous circle can not be distinguished by an observer as geometrically different from that coming from the star B, but simply will manifest itself as increased apparent brightness of B. The same will happen, if the observer is situated at a small distance x from the extended central line AB. But then the observer will see A as two point-like light-sources, which are deviated from the true geo- metrical position of A by the angle ,3, approximately. The apparent brightness of A will be increased by the lens-like action of the gravitational field of B in the ratio q. This q will be considerably larger than unity only if x is so small that the observed positions of A and B coincide, within the resolving power of our instruments. Simple geometric considerations lead to the expression X 21 Iq- 212 $ Y \1+ 1 where I= VaoDBo. on November 12, 2018 http://science.sciencemag.org/ nloaded from Einstein 1936 Science http://science.sciencemag.org/content/84/2188/506
