Solar system constraints on asymptotically flat IR modified Hořava gravity through light deflection

Abstract: In this paper, we study the motion of photons around a Kehagias-Sfetsos (KS) black hole and obtain constraints on IR modified Ho

ava gravity without cosmological constant (

s i m L a m b d a_{W}

). An analytic formula for the light deflection angle is obtained. For a propagating photon, the deflection angle

d e l t a p h i

increases with large values of the Ho

. Under the UV limit

o m e g a l o n g r i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

, deflection angle reduces to the result of usual Schwarzschild case,

. It is also found that with increasing scale of astronomical observation system the Ho

| o m e g a M^{2} | > 1.1725 i m e s 1 0^{- 16}

with 12% precision for Earth system,

| o m e g a M^{2} | > 8.27649 i m e s 1 0^{- 17}

with 17% precision for Jupiter system and

| o m e g a M^{2} | > 8.27650 i m e s 1 0^{- 15}

with 0.17% precision for solar system.
