On the Gravitomagnetic Time Delay
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the gravitational time delay in ray propagation due to rotating masses in the linear approximation of general relativity. Simple expressions are given for the gravitomagnetic time delay that occurs when rays of radiation cross a slowly rotating shell, equation (14), and propagate in the field of a distant rotating source, equation (16). Moreover, we calculate the local gravitational time delay in the Gödel universe. The observational consequences of these results in the case of weak gravitational lensing are discussed.

Gravitomagnetic time delay and the Lense-Thirring effect in Brans-Dicke theory of gravity
We discuss the gravitomagnetic time delay and the Lense-Thirring effect in the context of Brans-Dicke theory of gravity. We compare the theoretical results obtained with those predicted by general relativity.We show that within the accurarcy of experiments designed to measure these effects both theories predict essentially the same result.

Experimental discovery of the gravitomagnetic fields generated by translational and/or rotational currents of matter is one of primary goals of modern gravitational physics. The rotational (intrinsic) gravitomagnetic field of the Earth is currently measured by the Gravity Probe B. The present paper makes use of a parametrized post-Newtonian (PN) expansion of the Einstein equations to demonstrat...

We discuss the gravitomagnetism in the context of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. We obtain the equation of motion of a particle in terms of gravitoelectric and gravitomagnetic fields. We discuss the gravitomagnetic time delay and the Lense-Thirring effect in the context of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. In the particular case of Brans-Dicke Theory, we compare the results obtained with t...
متن کاملLight deflection and time delay in the gravitational field of a spinning body
In this paper we consider the possibility of measuring the corrections induced by the square of the parameter ag of the Kerr metric to the general relativistic deflection of electromagnetic waves and time delay in an Earth based experiment. It turns out that, while at astronomical scale the well known gravitoelectric effects are far larger than the gravitomagnetic ones, at laboratory scale the ...
متن کاملGravitational lensing by spinning and escaping lenses
The effect of currents of mass on bending of light rays is considered in the weak field regime. Following Fermat’s principle and the standard theory of gravitational lensing, we derive the gravitomagnetic correction to time delay function and deflection angle caused by a geometrically-thin lens. The cases of both rotating and shifting deflectors are discussed.
