The Role of Evection in Optical Measurements of Light Beam Deflection from the Sun's Disk (the Einstein Effect)

The relationship between the optical results of light beam deflection from the disk of the Sun (δφ) obtained during observations of the total solar eclipses, from 1919 till 1973, and the evection, the major perturbation from the Sun, based on the theory of the Moon's motion, is analysed. The de...

Description
Summary:The relationship between the optical results of light beam deflection from the disk of the Sun (δφ) obtained during observations of the total solar eclipses, from 1919 till 1973, and the evection, the major perturbation from the Sun, based on the theory of the Moon's motion, is analysed. The dependence of δφ upon the temporal changes of the evection was found. The expected δφ optical results for the total solar eclipses, for the period from 22.09.2003 till 29.12.2103, were calculated. Based on the comparison of calculated evection values with fluctuations of intensity of solar radiation within 603-607 nm range obtained through the spectral observations on solar radiation in Antarctica, the modulatory role of the evection in deflecting the light beam at the near-Earth space was concluded.
