Constraints on the gravitational force on photons from microlensing
Description
Gravitational microlensing observations are used to study the radial dependence of the gravitational force acting on photons. The Newton inverse square law is shown to be valid at a few % level at a distance scale of a few AU (where 1 AU=1.496x108 km is the astronomical unit). Constraints on possible non-Newtonian terms are derived
