Time delays are a key observable in strong gravitational lensing systems. Their theoretical expression is usually written as a sum of a geometrical delay and a Shapiro delay, with cosmology entering through angular diameter distances and a…

We investigate two general relativistic effects - namely, the Shirokov and Shapiro effects - within the framework of the Zipoy-Voorhees spacetime ($q$-metric), which generalizes the Schwarzschild solution by incorporating a quadrupole…
To determine whether the Shapiro time delay of light passing near a moving object depends on the ``speed of gravity'' or the ``speed of light,'' one must analyze observations in a bimetric framework in which these two speeds can be…
