Scientific paper

Calculations of the gravitational deflection of light are presented to 1 1/2 order in the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) representation. The effects of light deflection on photon orbits in the equatorial plane are evaluated for the case of a light ray from a distant source deflected by a rigidly rotating sun and observed at the earth, and for light deflection by Jupiter. It is found that the 1 1/2 order PPN effect on light has a magnitude on the order of 10 to the -6th arcsec for deflection by both the sun and Jupiter, the latter of which may be detectable by future space-borne instruments.
