Deflection of light due to massive objects was predicted by Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity. This deflection of light has been calculated by many researchers in past, for spherically symmetric objects. But, in reality, most of these gravitating objects are not spherical instead they are ellipsoidal ( oblate) in shape. The objective of the present work is to study theoretically the effect of this ellipticity on the trajectory of a light ray. Here, we obtain a converging series expression for the deflection of a light ray due to an ellipsoidal gravitating object, characterised by an ellipticity parameter. As a boundary condition, by setting the ellipticity parameter to be equal to zero, we get back the same expression for deflection as due to Schwarzschild object. It is also found that the additional contribution in deflection angle due to this ellipticity though small, but could be typically higher than the similar contribution caused by the rotation of a celestial object. Therefore for a precise estimate of the deflection due to a celestial object, the calculations presented here would be useful.

The gravitational deflection of light ray is an important prediction of General Theory of Relativity. In this paper we develop analytical expression of the deflection of light ray without any weak field approximation due to a charged gravitational bo
dy represented by Reissner_Nordstrom (RN) and Janis-Newman-Winicour (JNW) space time geometry, using material medium approach. It is concluded that although both the geometries represent the charged, non-rotating, spherically symmetric gravitating body, but the effect of charge on the gravitational deflection is just opposite to each other. The gravitational deflection decreases with charge in the RN geometry and increases with charge in the JNW geometry. The calculations obtained here are compared with other methods done by different authors. The formalism is applied to an arbitrary selected pulsar PSRB1937+21 as a gravitating body, as a test case.
Working by analogy, we use the description of light fluctuations due to random collisions of the radiating atoms to figure out why the reduction of the coherence for light propagating a cosmological distance in the fluctuating background space is neg
ligibly small to be observed by the stellar interferometry.
The conformal gravity fit to observed galactic rotation curves requires {gamma}>0. On the other hand, conventional method for light deflection by galaxies gives a negative contribution to Schwarzschild value for {gamma}>0, which is contrary to observ
ation. Thus, it is very important that the contribution to bending should in principle be positive, no matter how small its magnitude is. Here we show that the Rindler-Ishak method gives a positive contribution to Schwarzschild deflection for {gamma}>0, as desired. We also obtain the exact local coupling term derived earlier by Sereno. These results indicate that conformal gravity can potentially test well against all astrophysical observations to date.
We generalize the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations for space-times endowed with a Weyssenhoff like torsion field in the Einstein-Cartan theory. The new set of structure equations clearly show how the presence of torsion affects the geometry of th
e space-time. We obtain new exact solutions for compact objects with non-null spin surrounded by vacuum, explore their properties and discuss how these solutions should be smoothly matched to an exterior space-time. We study how spin changes the Buchdahl limit for the maximum compactness of stars. Moreover, under rather generic conditions, we prove that in the context of a Weyssenhoff like torsion, no static, spherically symmetric compact objects supported only by the spin can exist. We also provide some algorithms to generate new solutions.
Continuing work initiated in an earlier publication [Ishihara, Suzuki, Ono, Kitamura, Asada, Phys. Rev. D {bf 94}, 084015 (2016) ], we discuss a method of calculating the bending angle of light in a static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically fl
at spacetime, especially by taking account of the finite distance from a lens object to a light source and a receiver. For this purpose, we use the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to define the bending angle of light, such that the definition can be valid also in the strong deflection limit. Finally, this method is applied to Schwarzschild spacetime in order to discuss also possible observational implications. The proposed corrections for Sgr A$^{ast}$ for instance are able to amount to $sim 10^{-5}$ arcseconds for some parameter range, which may be within the capability of near-future astronomy, while also the correction for the Sun in the weak field limit is $sim 10^{-5}$ arcseconds.
