NASA's star wouldn't happen to have a warm coronosphere, would it?

But the lensing happens when the white dwarf passes in front of the star.
Not much refraction in a vacuum.

===================================
You say it's a vacuum, I say it's a gaseous atmosphere. You say it's a
dead star, I say the Earth must be dead too. You say the Moon has no
atmosphere but the Earth is massive enough to hold on to one. I say a
dead star is much, much more massive than the Earth and can have a
warm hydrogen atmosphere which the Earth cannot.
How are we going to resolve this debate?
Obviously we can't unless we send a probe, but if you choose to believe
the con-artist Einstein or accept light has mass then you are in violation
of Ockham's Razor. The simplest solution is the most probable.
Note that I have not denied the empirical data but I do challenge the
crackpot pet theory of its cause.

Imbecile! Is not the heat. Is the Air doing that refraction to you!

In Russia, light refracts air?

Bravo.
It is much more elegant to say that the physical geometry of spacetime
(whatever that means) curved somehow in the presence of the corpse star, by
some unnecessary mechanism that bends the path of points with properties.
Refraction is too vintage, andy. It makes too much sense, you can't make
pop documentaries on refraction and expect it to sell! We all have kids to
feed, so cut the egocentric utopian crap. This quest for sense and reason
is poisoning your social abilities, my friend. What do you prefer? Happy
n-D curvature or straight loneliness?

"Refraction". What a fossil! How do you come up with this stuff?

==============================================
I can assure you I am a happy hermit. Last Wednesday I took a
day off from my joyful loneliness and treated my housekeeper
and her daughter, whose school project is to construct a model
of a building in London and discuss its purpose, to a ride on the
London Eye. After lunch we took in "Oz, the Great and Powerful"
at the Trocadero, during which the kid was delighted and I dozed.
Apparently good and wicked witches shoot crackling sparks from
their fingertips at each other but when I tried it I found it painful,
its best to hold a coin or a key to draw sparks.
The bicycle wheel decorated with plastic Kinder eggs is coming
along quite well.
Refraction: KLM bought a B747 flight simulator from CAE in
Montreal, fitted with a Link-Miles visual display. Our beautiful
display did not meet our tight optical specification and I was
called in to sort it out or heads would roll.
When I arrived I discovered the simulator was designed to be
pressurised like a real plane, which entailed using real aircraft
glass 2" thick. A B747 has a curved windshield and curved glass
is a lens. Points of light were out of focus when viewed through
a theodolite. We took the glass out, everything was sharp.
KLM accepted the slightly degraded optics rather than give up
pressuring.
In all engineering there has to be compromise.
