摘要
We examine the effect of the cosmological constant Lambda on the angle of deflection of null geodesics in the equatorial plane of the Kerr-de Sitter spacetime. This is done by employing a procedure used recently by Rindler and Ishak to obtain the bending angle of light in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry. We show that this approach yields a contribution from the cosmological constant in the expression for the bending angle.
