Scientific paper

We have used radio interferometry to measure the deflection of a radio source as it passed the sun. This deflection is a separable combination of refraction in the coronal electron plasma and the general relativistic effect. The observed deflection was 1.04+0.15-0.10 times that predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. The observation also yielded a reasonable value for the coronal electron density.
