Mikołaj Korzyński - Weighing the spacetime along the line of sight
Jurekfest 2019 - day 1, lecture 9.
Speaker: Mikołaj Korzyński (introduction by Jurek Lewandowski).
Title: Weighing the spacetime along the line of sight.
Abstract: I will present a new method of probing the spacetime curvature using only optical observations(astrometry). The method is based on gravitational light bending and uses gravitational lensing as well as parallax effect to measure the curvature along the line of sight. I will also discuss briefly its possible applications.
