Rotation of Light Polarization Vector in the Nonstationary Gravitational Field

摘要

It is shown that the direction of the polarization vector of light passing near binary stars does oscillate periodically. It is also proved that in case of light ray moving in the stationary field the total rotation angle of polarization is equal to zero in weak field approximation. 6 refs.; 1 fig.
