On the Effect of the Cosmological Expansion on the Gravitational Lensing by a Point Mass
We analyse the effect of the cosmological expansion on the deflection of light caused by a point mass, adopting the McVittie metric as the geometrical description of a point-like lens embedded in an expanding universe. In the case of a generic, non-constant Hubble parameter, H, we derive and approxi...
