The light deflection measurements of 1919
Oral comunication

I. Tereno

Abstract
As a contribution to the celebration of the 100 years of gravitational light deflection, I revisit the measurements made by the solar eclipse expedition of 1919 to Principe and Sobral. I discuss the self-calibration method of Sobral and the external-calibration method of Principe, and present a new Fisher matrix analysis of the published results.
