Outgoing near-radial Schwarzschild light deflection

ID: outgoing-near-radial-schwarzschild-light-deflection

A Schwarzschild static observer at areal radius emits an outward null geodesic at a small angle to the radial direction. Its impact parameter is , and the accumulated azimuth to infinity is . Thus weak curvature magnifies a narrow outward beam angle by , rather than producing the full infinity-to-infinity deflection .
