ACADEMY TRANSACTIONS NOTE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND AND GRAVITATIONAL LENS OF THE SUN

摘要

The gravitational lens of the Sun was recently studied by this author in an Academy Transactions Note with the goal of radio-observing the Galactic Center from a spacecraft located Beyond the minimal focal distance of 550 Astronomical Units (AU) in the direction of the Galactic Anticenter. This Note is devoted to study the exploitation of the Sun's gravity lens in an even more Realistic context that opened up only recently (1999).
