On an illusion of superluminal velocities produced by gravitational lenses
Journal Article

· Astrophysics (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
It is noted that gravitational lenses, by focusing the radiation of an object, increase the angle which it subtends. This in turn produces the illusion of an increase in velocities at right angles to the line of sight. Preliminary estimates are made which indicate a rather high probability of strong distortion of the observed velocities.
