Session Notes for RD1603 session
Prepared by David Mayer, Vienna University of Technology
Prepared with VIE_SCHED
The objective of this session is to test the theoretical model for gravitational delay of propagation of
light through the field of the Sun. The Sun approaches some strong reference radio
sources around a year providing favourable conditions to measure the light deflection
induced by the gravitational field.
