Abstract |
We address the bending of light when the quantum electrodynamic vacuum is modified by non-charge-like sources. The magnetic field of a neutron star can make a gradient for the index of refraction from the nonlinear electrodynamic effect. We calculate the bending angle when a light ray passes around a magnetized neutron star. We also calculate the bending of light by a black body radiation assuming that a neutron star is an isothermal black body. We estimate the order of magnitude for both bending angles and compare them with the bending angle by gravitation. |
