Phys. Rev. D 26, 1219–1224 (1982)Second-order contributions to gravitational deflection of light in the parametrized post-Newtonian formalismReceived 23 June 1981; published in the issue dated 15 September 1982 By considering the largest of the post-post-Newtonian terms, we have developed a parametrized expansion of the solar metric to one order beyond the linear terms. Using this parametrized post-linear metric we calculate the orbits of photons in the Sun's equatorial plane and the resulting deflection. The results depend on four of the usual parametrized post-Newtonian parameters and five new parameters, as well as on the Sun's total angular momentum and quadrupole moment parameter. Jovian light deflection is also examined. © 1982 The American Physical Society URL:
