Felix Schmeidler, 1985
Hello!
The German astronomer Felix Schmeidler published two works in 1985. "Messung der Lichtablenkung während der Sonnenfinsternis am 15. Februar 1961" Abstract: "During the total eclipse, a plate of the stars near the Sun was taken on the Monte Cónero near Ancona in Italy, on which 12 stars were measurable. Comparison with another plate of the same stars taken at night showed strong distortion on the eclipse plate which was very probably due to anomalous refraction. The differences of coordinates between both plates were represented by a general secondorder expression. The value L = 1°.98± 0°.46 was derived for the gravitational deflection on the solar limb." https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...sna.2113060207 and "Zur Interpretation der Messungen der Lichtablenkung am Sonnenrand" Abstract: "The agreement between radiastronomical measurements of the gravitational deflection of light at the solar limb and the theory of relativity is compatible with the exces found by most optical observers. The optical excess is caused by stars so near to the Sun that radioastronomical observations are impossible. Optical and radioastronomical measurements both make it likely that there is an additional term inversely proportional to a power higher than the first of the distance from the Sun. Results found by BOUET indicate that this additional term is of solar origin." He proposed the following correction to the Einstein formula: dr = 1.75"/r + 0.3"/r^2 What physical phenomenon can cause the larger light deflection? Schmeidler mentioned Bout.
