Further simplification of the light deflection formula for solar system objects

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-08-03 v1

Abstract

The transformation n to k in post-post-Newtonian order is simplified. All post-post-Newtonian terms of the order m^2/d^2 are neglected and we show that the total sum of these terms is smaller than 15/4 pi m^2/d^2. This simpler transformation will improve the efficiency of Gaia data reduction.
