Lensing in the McVittie metric
Published 19 Aug 2015 in astro-ph.CO and gr-qc | (1508.04763v2)
Abstract: We investigate the effect of the cosmological expansion on the bending of light due to an isolated point-like mass. We adopt McVittie metric as the model for the geometry of the lens. Assuming a constant Hubble factor we find an analytic expression involving the bending angle, which turns out to be unaffected by the cosmological expansion at the leading order.
