Phys. Rev. D 76, 043006 (2007) [5 pages]Contribution of the cosmological constant to the relativistic bending of light revisitedReceived 28 December 2006; published 30 August 2007 We study the effect of the cosmological constant Λ on the bending of light by a concentrated spherically symmetric mass. Contrarily to previous claims, we show that, when the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry is taken into account, Λ does indeed contribute to the bending. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
